An average transit loss of 0.25% per mile (total transit loss of 4.5 %) was <br />estimated and assessed against the 20 shares of FMIC replacement credits, as shown in the <br />attached Table 5.

In the event that accounting <br />shows that the FMIC shares are not yielding adequate amounts for replacements, you will seek <br />supplemental augmentation water from the City of Fountain, the Security Water District, or the <br />Widefield Water & Sanitation District. <br />Actual water use and depletions during the operation will be submitted to the Division <br />Engineer and Water Commissioner on a monthly basis. <br />CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL <br />This substitute water supply plan is hereby approved pursuant to Section 37 -90- 137(11), <br />C.R.S., subject to the following conditions: <br />1.
