Notice of Public Meeting for the public water System
april 20, 2009 ~ 6:00 pm
town hall, council chambers
507 Maroon ave., Crested Butte, Colorado
Topic: Water Distribution System Pipe replacement, and Design of New Storage Tank at Water Plant
A public meeting will be conducted for informing citizens and soliciting public input, written or oral, regarding the Crested Butte water distribution system pipe replacement project, and design for a new storage tank at the Crested Butte Water Plant. The water distribution project includes the replacing 2320’ of old 6” steel pipe and 480’ of 6” cast iron pipe, with 6” ductile iron pipe. The project also includes the design of a new 1 million gallon water storage tank. A report is being submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to qualify Crested Butte for Stimulus funding and/or a State Revolving Fund Loan.
The current 6” steel distribution pipe to be replaced was installed in 1962. The 6” cast iron pipe was installed from 1962 through 1976. The primary health risk is system failure due to age, corrosive soils (pipe bedded in Coal Ash), and possible back siphonage due to a major main break. There were four main breaks in 2008. The town has only one 500,000-gallon storage tank, and the peak demand in the summer can reach 800,000 gallons per day. Therefore the need to start design on a new secondary storage tank to help meet peak demand, as well as future build out and emergency water demand.
Estimated construction cost to replace the distribution system piping is $980,000. Estimated cost to design a new water storage tank is $50,000.
A copy of the report is available for public review, prior to the Public Meeting, at the following location:

Notice of Public Meeting for the Wastewater System
april 20, 2009 ~ 6:00 pm
town hall, council chambers
507 Maroon ave., Crested Butte, Colorado
Topic: Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Upgrades, and Collection System renovations
A public meeting will be conducted for informing citizens and soliciting public input, written or oral, regarding the Crested Butte Wastewater Treatment Plant and Preliminary Engineering Report (PER). The PER is a report detailing the project consisting of the structural, architectural, electrical, and mechanical requirements associated with the design of a new clarifier and its integration with the existing system. The project also includes the rehabilitation of 20 manholes, and 23,000’ of 8” AC sewer pipe. The report is being submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to qualify Crested Butte for Stimulus funding and/or a State Revolving Fund Loan.
The current WWTP’s secondary clarifier is over 30 years old, and does not meet the Colorado Department of Public Health design criteria Policy 96-1. The WWTP has no redundant clarifier, and a side water depth of 10’ (minimum side water depth is 12’). Therefore, a new secondary clarifier is being designed and constructed. The collection system rehabilitation is to prevent inflow and infiltration. The average daily flow to the WWTP is approximately 200,000 gallons per day. During our annual spring melt (May/June) the peak flows can exceed 800,000 gallons per day. The plant has a design capacity is 600,000 gallons per day.
Estimated construction cost of the new secondary clarifier is $1,700,000. Estimated cost of the collection system rehabilitation is $750,000.
A copy of the Preliminary Engineering Report is available for public review, prior to the Public meeting, at the following location:
