Water Expansion Project
	Eaton's population has increased from approximately 1800 in 1980 to 3600 in 2003. Because of this growth it is necessary to plan and implement a water system expansion. Currently, we are pursuing a four part plan which will supply potable water to our residents for the next 20 years. The four part plan is outlined below. The first three parts should be completed before the end of 2004. The fourth part is in the research stage, but will be completed before the need arises.
	Part 1: The Hawkstone subdivision is currently served directly by NWCWD through a pipeline along WCR 76 and a meter located at the south entrance to the subdivision. By contract the Town must take the subdivision off that line by the end of 2003 and furnish water to the subdivision through the regular distribution system. In order to do that the Town is installing a pump station at the east entrance to Hawkstone which will maintain adequate pressure and volume flow for both domestic use and fire flow. The pump station has been ordered and should be in place by November of 2003.
	Part 2: A new 2.3 MG water storage tank is being planned for approximately 1 mile west of town - just east of WCR 33 and 1/2 mile south of WCR 74. This tank will help "level out" our demand on the North Weld system and will make it easier to deliver water during peak times without loss of pressure. Assuming that water supplies are good, the new tank should limit the need for watering restrictions in the future
	Part 3: Along with the new water storage tank, a delivery system is necessary in order to attach the tank to the system. A 24 inch pipeline will be constructed along the "half-section" line from the tank site on WCR 33 to WCR35, then north to connect with the existing distribution line 1/2 mile north of WCR 74 on WCR 35. By the late of 2004 this new line should be online and the system will be able to support our growing population.
	Part 4: The last part of the water expansion project involves increasing our supply of water. Currently there are two options for increasing our supply.
	Option 1: As NWCWD increases the capacity of its delivery system. The Town may purchase more capacity from them. Currently their system is near capacity but if they continue to build as planned, their ability to supply water will increase so that the Town may purchase an additional 1 MG/day or 2MG/day as the need arises. This option would cost about $7.7 for each 1 MG/day.
	Option 2: For many years, until the early 1980's, the Town used three wells to supply drinking water to the residents. Two of those wells still exist and are not being used. It may be possible for the Town to construct a "Reverse Osmosis" water treatment plant and use the water we already own to increase the supply as the need arises. The existing wells, at maximum capacity, could supply about 2.5 MG/day. We are exploring the options for disposal of waste and construction of the plant.

	Financing of the project will be done through tap fees and usage charges along with a loan from the Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority. As much as possible, the Town desires that growth pay for itself, so tap fees have been raised to meet the need.
