<br />1136 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />metered total service and private fire protection <br />service is $1.66 per 1,000 gallons for the first 15,000 <br />gallons, and thereafter the rate decreases and volume <br />increases. There is also a $12 bi-monthly fee on a 3/4 <br />inch meter which is in addition to the price per 1,000 <br />gallons. <br /> <br />D) <br /> <br />Pueblo <br /> <br />The City of Pueblo, which has not experienced the <br />tremendous growth of cities to the north, appears to <br />have an abundance of water at present and cannot be <br />looked upon as an immediate likely purchaser. However, <br />recently there has been much attention focused on <br />Pueblo and that market should not be overlooked. <br /> <br />E) <br /> <br />Colorado Springs <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Colorado Springs has grown and continues to grow at a <br />rapid pace. The city has been active in water right <br />purchases, and presently has before the water court a <br />comprehensive exchange plan to utilize Arkansas River <br />water more efficiently. Colorado Springs could utilize <br />Amity water by upstream exchanges through its partial <br />ownership of the Homestake Project, by physical <br />delivery through pumping stations and through pipeline, <br />or by exchange up the Arkansas and Fountain Creek. The <br />latter exchange, by present day standards, is <br />unpalatable from the standpoint of recycling treated <br />waste water much of the time. Colorado Springs charges <br />$2.59 on a minimum bill with no water delivered plus <br />$1.85 per 1,000 gallons. <br /> <br />F) <br /> <br />Front Range <br /> <br />Other areas experiencing tremendous growth are portions <br />of E1 Paso County outside the city of Colorado Springs <br />and Douglas County which is mostly in the South Platte <br />River basin. Up to this point in time, these areas <br />have been dependent upon ground water from the Denver <br />Basin or from designated ground water basins which have <br />a limited supply. This demand may also extend into <br />Elbert and eastern Arapahoe Counties which are, for all <br />practical purposes, extensions of the Denver <br />Metropolitan Area. <br /> <br />2. DELIVERABILITY OF WATER <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />To make water available to the potential markets as described <br />above, water must either be delivered physically, or by some <br />exchange mechanism allowed by the water courts which can be looked <br />upon as taking water at a location, either upstream or downstream of <br />the decreed point of diversion, and making available a substitute <br />supply to that appropriator whose supply would have been decreased <br /> <br />-3- <br />
