Table 2 - Water Supply Limitations and Future Needs Limitation and/or Future Need

System is in a designated critical water supply shortage area

Yes

X

System experiences frequent water supply shortages and/or emergencies System has substantial nonrevenue water

X

X

X

Need additional drought reserves

X

Drinking water quality issues

X

Issues with water pressure in portions of distribution system

How is Limitation or Future Need Being Addressed

South Platte Basin identified in SWSI and State Water Plan as area with supply and storage gap

Increase supply through water acquisitions, leases, reuse, WISE, Chatfield Reallocation project, demand reductions, ASR, and regional cooperation

X

Increases to wastewater system capacity anticipated

Aging infrastructure in need of repair

Comments on Limitation or Future Need

X

Experiencing high rates of population and demand growth

Planning substantial improvements or additions

No

X

District is near build-out Planning major projects to increase water supply, storage, treatment capacity, and water distribution capacity

Chatfield Reallocation project ; WISE project; reuse study; water efficiency; regional ASR study; WTP utility study; new highcapacity pumping station and water transmission line; alluvial well field expansion study

The answer could be yes in terms of flow and nutrient levels if treatment of Hwy. 85 corridor wastewater flows are added to the treatment stream

WWTP utility study is in progress, which may include participation with Douglas County

Selected wells, pumping equipment, treatment systems, and conveyance systems

Old wells, pumps, valves, lines, meters, and treatment systems are being upgraded and replaced as necessary
