<br />5 <br /> <br />would have severe operational problems, especially icing <br /> <br /> <br />tendencies in the winter, but addressing cost factors only, <br /> <br /> <br />the treatment costs would rise to $12.32 per million gallons <br /> <br /> <br />-- or nearly 400 per cent of those of Foothills-Strontia <br /> <br /> <br />Springs. <br /> <br />Second, a proposal -- advocated primarily by the <br /> <br />Metro Denver League of Women Voters -- would utilize the <br /> <br /> <br />Chatfield flood control reservoir, rather than Strontia <br /> <br />Springs, as the Foothills settling basin and holding pond. <br /> <br /> <br />While this proposal would diminish the flood control capacity <br /> <br /> <br />of Chatfield, and destroy much of its usefulness as a region- <br /> <br /> <br />al water recreation facility, this study does not measure the <br /> <br /> <br />aesthetic and economic losses of this aspect of Chatfield. <br /> <br />Considering cost effectiveness to metro Denver water users, <br /> <br /> <br />only, impacts would be disastrous. Treatment costs would <br /> <br /> <br />be $18.58 per million gallons -- drastically higher than <br /> <br /> <br />Foothills-Strcntia Springs -- and also the pumping costs. <br /> <br /> <br />would be a staggering $41.18 per million gallons. Total <br /> <br /> <br />costs would be $59.76 per million gallons -- nearly 20 <br /> <br /> <br />times that of Foothills-Strontia Springs. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 2 illustrates the pumping which is required <br /> <br /> <br />by the present system. Most of the pumping below the "Foot- <br /> <br /> <br />hills Gradient" would be eliminated or greatly reduced by <br /> <br /> <br />the Foothills-Strontia Springs Reservoir development. <br /> <br />...., , <br />UU'?23 <br />
