11.2.20.020 Purpose

The purpose of this Act is to authorize the pilot water treatment plant testing plan as part of the Aamodt water settlement. The testing plan will study the production capability of a horizontal collector well intake system at the location approved by the Pueblo, validate that the proposed water treatment process equipment will produce drinking water that equals or exceed federal and state drinking water quality standards, and obtain detailed design criteria and operating data that will serve as the basis for final designs and operations and maintenance cost estimates for the proposed water treatment plant.
