Discussion Item: Water System Improvement Projects; presented by Cory <br /> Peterson, Water Resources Engineer, City of Louisville Public Works Dept. <br /> See materials starting on page 17 of the February 2019 OSAB Meeting packet for <br /> complete presentation. Two sources of water: 2/3 from S Boulder Creek and 1/3 from <br /> Colorado River via northern Colorado. Two projects are being planned: <br /> A. Install another line parallel to main pipeline from Hecla to Water Treatment Plant <br /> to increase capacity. Three different Open Space properties will be crossed. <br /> Boring and underground work will minimize disruption as much as possible. <br /> Construction to start late this year or early next year. Re-seeding will be done <br /> following the work; guaranteed for one year. <br /> B. Second project places pipeline next to ditch from Community Ditch up onto <br /> Davidson Mesa and north to Louisville Reservoir; currently on hold due to <br /> funding issues - anticipated start in 2022. <br /> Laura is interested in keeping as much of the current ditch in place -trees, wildlife <br /> corridor. Peter asked if purpose of project is to accommodate increased growth rather <br /> than immediate need; Cory confirmed that this is so. David asked if this is solely a <br /> Louisville project; Cory said yes. David asked if there is any impact on underpasses; <br /> Cory said no. Fiona asked if there is a plan for communicating with public. Cory said yes; <br /> Fiona recommended signs on Open Space with explanation of WHY as well as <br /> description of work and timeline; use neighborhood bulletin board online groups as well. <br /> Ember noted that restoration will take place for an additional 3-5 years after re-seeding <br /> is completed and likely be carried out by Open Space staff. <br /> 11.
