Project title: Water Initiatives
Water in Buena Vista: The Town uses an integrated water system that includes both water rights and the infrastructure needed to collect, treat, and distribute water to the Town’s customers. The primary infrastructure utilized in the production and delivery of the water rights portfolio are noted here: Buena Vista Water Infrastructure Plan. The overall limitations for future growth can be from either water rights or infrastructure.
Synopsis of Initiatives:
Unaccounted for water: Identifying the contributors to the high unaccounted water numbers can provide additional revenue as well as potentially identifying water that may be lost or wasted that could be used to support future growth projections.
Fire Flow Demand and Water Storage: Tracking of the SFEs by pressure zone is valuable information for continued review of the water storage capacity.
Water Conservation and Efficiency Improvements: Create a more formal program to address future conservation, [providing] direct benefit by extending the current water supply to meet future growth.
Water Rights
Water Storage
Water Production: The infrastructure plan will provide guidance on capacity restrictions and maintenance requirements, with the infrastructure system being the most pressing need that the Public Works Department seeks to address.
Project deliverables:
Gorrel Meadow Infiltration Gallery Expansion
The Town is finishing an expansion of the Infiltration Gallery incorporating effective filtration treatment for gallery water. The expansion increases the summer capacity of the gallery. The expansion has deepened the gallery to pump the groundwater to the filtration treatment. Though the physical capacity of the gallery will increase, the current water rights portfolio will limit the dry-year production capacity based on the current supply.
Water Treatment Plant Upgrade
Along with the Infiltration Gallery, a pilot study is underway to determine whether there are necessary upgrades to the Water Treatment Plant for treatment of surface water diversions from Cottonwood Creek. The plant was decommissioned in 1999 and would require upgrades if it will be used in the future. The desired capacity for an upgrade would treat both the gallery and/or surface water diversions.
Cottonwood Creek Surface Water Diversion Rehabilitation
In order to support the use of the water treatment plant, the intake structure of the surface water diversion headgate will require rehabilitation.
