Distribution
Phase 1
Phase I
Water Distribution System Improvements
Water distribution system leaks
Distribution system piping
System
consists of 15 miles of water lines
12 miles of Asbestos Cement pipe
3 miles a mix of PVC and other pipe
Oldest located (so far) is from 1926
Most was installed in the 1950s and 1960s
6
Distribution system pump
stations
pump stations, necessary due to terrain
Portions of system less than 20 psi
No capacity to allow additional connections
to some of the pump stations
No fire flow in higher elevation areas
Age of pump stations causing maintenance
problems (parts availability, reliability etc.)
Types of System Failures

Reservoir Expansion
Water Supply Status

2010 Situation
Critical Shortage of Raw Water Supply
 Alternatives to Expand Source

N. Fork Reservoir Expansion
 New (additional) North Fork Reservoir
 Garrison Lake
 Do Nothing

Water Loss (Yr 2009 52% - Yr 2010 @ 57%)
 Less Than Average Year – Requires Conservation

Recommendations

Reduce Water Losses to Less than 10%



Replace Distribution System
Implement Conservation During Drought
(15% Reduction in Water Usage)
Expand Existing Impoundment

Payment and interest calculations
$4,000,000 loan amount, 3.5% interest, 40 years
$6,000,000 loan amount, 1% interest, 30 years
Rate based payback
Payment is 419,797.81 per year, or approximately
$52.45 per customer per month. Total water
(only) bill for this scenario is $94.45
Property Tax based payback
General Obligation, 100,000,000 assessed value
$4.1980 per thousand of assessed value
Payment based on $6M General
Obligation bond and $4M
Revenue Bond
General Obligation bond $2.3249 per thousand of
assessed value.
Revenue Bond requires rate increase of $23.40 per
month per customer.
COUNCIL DECISION REQUIRED:
If the vote for either the general obligation bond
fails, or the revenue bond fails, the project cannot
be completed. Both MUST pass in order for the
funding package to be viable.
