<br />WILLOW HEIGHTS IRRIGATION COMPANY <br />DUAL WATER SYSTEM <br /> <br /> <br />~;;. " ~: <br /> <br />~~;.::......~. - <br /> <br />."~.._-.: <br /> <br /> <br />-~; ~ <br /> <br />Completed Project Willow Heights Subdivision <br /> <br />Proiect Description <br /> <br />The Willow Heights Irrigation Company owns and operates an existing piped irrigation <br />system located in the Willow Heights Subdivision and Duke Hill community in the Town of <br />Hotchkiss. The system was constructed in 1976 where water is diverted from Leroux Creek, and <br />routed through the Duke Ditch. Water is supplied to about 95 residential lots and a Town park. <br />The total irrigated area is about 60 acres, consisting primarily of lawns and gardens. The system <br />consists of a headgate, approximately 6000 lineal feet of main distribution piping (10", 8" and <br />6"), and approximately 3000 feet of lateral piping. The original piping was a lightweight plastic <br />pipe, which was improperly backfilled, resulting in crushed pipes in some areas and significant <br />plugging problems. This project involved installing all new heavier gauge PVC distribution <br />lines, and lateral tap lines, along with cleanouts and isolation valves. <br /> <br />Proiect Data <br /> <br />Sponsor: Willow Heights Irrigation Co.
