<br />inadequate for future expansion. Additional storage facilities and new <br />or rehabilitated existing raw water treatment facilities are needed. <br /> <br />Superior has no existing municipal water system, and obtains its water <br />supply from wells within the community. Approximately 10 of these wells <br />have been registered for domestic use. Several properties within <br />Superior are without any form of water service. <br /> <br />Louisville's present treatment plant capacity is 5 million gallons <br />per day, and the treated water storage capacity is approximately <br />4 mi 11 i on gall ons. Loui svi 11 e Reservoi r has a decreed ri ght to store <br />290 acre-feet of water, however, it has become increasingly necessary to <br />use Marshall Reservoir for storage space in order to provide an adequate <br />late summer water supply. <br /> <br />Lafayette's water system has serious limitations. Transmission pipe <br />capacity limits the maximum daily output of Lafayette's filter plant to <br />about 1.7 million gallons. The system has limited storage for both raw <br />wa ter and treated water. Water rati oni ng has been in effect for many <br />years, and lawn and garden watering is restricted to 2 hours every other <br />day. <br /> <br />Eri e has storage in Eri e Reservoi rand in Pri nce Lake No.1, and the <br />water is'transported by pipeline to the Erie filter plant. The capacity <br />of the treatment facil ity is 1.2 mi 11 i on gall ons per day, and treated <br />water storage is 655,000 gallons. <br /> <br />Wa ter conservati on measures are needed to 1 imi t future use to about <br />180 gallons per capi ta per day. The Coal Creek communi ti es have <br />expressed a wi 11 i ngness to 1 imit water use to thi s rate and to adopt <br />necessary water conservation measures. <br /> <br />RECREATION <br /> <br />< <br /> <br />Denver, Boulder, and other urban communities are located immediately <br />east of the Colorado Front Range. The Front Range, as part of the <br />Colorado Rockies, is nationally known for its recreation and tourist <br />facilities. The Front Range does have available facilities, but due to <br />the constant influx of tourists and the demands by the local populace, <br />many of these accommodati ons have become overcrowded. The result has <br />. been a large unsatisfied recreation demand in the metropolitan areas. <br /> <br />This recreation shortage has resulted in conflicts among different <br />interests over specific areas. For instance, water based recreational <br />opportunities, such as boating, swimming, water skiing, and sometimes <br />fishing, is often prohibited on municipal and industrial reservoirs. <br />Each outdoor recreational group may impair the quality of someone else's <br />experience. To lessen these existing, and the probable future conflicts <br />of interest, there is a need to upgrade, expand, and increase the number <br />of recreational areas near existing metropolitan areas. <br /> <br />22 <br />
