Water Supply Plan
Water service for this development will be provided by the EIk Springs
Homeowners Association (formerly Los Amigos Ranch Homeowners
Association) operated by tne ReA Canyon Water Company. (S9e the "Intent
to Selve" letter attached.) The water will be delivered under the terms of
the "Water Tap Assignment and Water Delivery Agreement" between Elk
Springs Homeownetl Association, Red Canyon Water Company and lohn A'
Eimoie, II. Detailed water supply calculations are contained within the
attached Water SuPPIY RePoft.
In preparation for development of this property, an eight-inch wate-r line was
extended from the Los Amigos system into the northeast portion of this
propefty. This line will be looped through the eastern portion of the propefty
during the development of Phase One. When Phase Two is developed,
addit'Ional eight-inch lines will be extended to serve the lots at the end of
Pinyon Mesa Drive and Paintbrush Way.
Fire hydrants will be placed throughout the project as necessary to provide
both fire protection and the ability the flush the water lines at appropriate
locations. More specific information regarding the location and configuration
of the water lines is provided on the engineering drawings included within
this application.

Section 4:91
Water Su DDlv Plan
The Red Canyon Water Company (RCWC) will provide water service for
Pinyon Mesa. Attached hereto is an "Ability to Serve" letter from the
District,
The RCWC provides water for domestic and lawn irrigation purposes
primarily to the Los Amigos Ranch PUD and the Elk Springs PUD. The
development of the infrastructure for RCWC has anticipated the
development of Pinyon Mesa and its inclusion in its water service area
Water service has already been extended to the boundary of Pinyon Mesa
by RCWC. That extension includes an B-inch diameter water line and two
(2) pressure reducing vaults,
The water company has two water storage tanks, with a combined storage
capacity of 620,OOO gallons. Again, development of Pinyon Mesa was
previously contemplated and the existing tanks have sufficient volume to
provide equalization, fire and emergency storage for "build-out"
conditions. Water is produced from a well field consisting of two wells,
currently rated at 27O gpm. The supply receives disinfection through
chlorination prior to being delivered to the water users.
Within Pinyon Mesa, the water delivery system will consist of 8-inch
diameter distribution mains as shown on the company engineering
drawings. An additional pressure-reducing vault will be constructed on
the waier system prior to its delivery to the integral distribution system of
this project,
The sizing of the water system components has been based on the
following:
o Average domestic use
. Lawn lrrigation:
. Peaking Factor:
28O gpd/EQR for combined domestic'
150-day, 3OO0 sfllot @ 2.523 A-FlAc
2.O for peak day (x domestic and
irrigation).
Fire flow availability: 10OO gPm

The water system proposed for Pinyon Mesa has been modeled to verify
that adequaie static and residual pressures will be available to the
individual lots. Normal pressures with Pinyon Mesa will range from 60 psi
to 112 psi, depending on location. Note that in-house PRV's should be
installed on ali lots. lvailable fire flows exceed lOOO gpm at 2OO psi
residual at all locations, r

Proof of legal water supply to serve the entire Los Amigos PUD (of which the
Bench is a part of) has previously been provided with other Filings in the Los Amigos PUD
attach a copy of the most recent legal water supply information submitted in the late 1990's
conjunction with Filings Nos. 5,A' though 11, Los Amigos PIID See cover letter
Leavenworth & Associates, dated November 24, 1997, together with attached
attached hereto as Exhibit "8. " Pinyon Mesa will utilize and be served by the same water
and plan for augmentation discussed in this previous documentation contained in Exhibit B
Basalt Water Conservancy District Plan for Augmentation ("Augmentation Plan") approved
decreed in Case No. 87CW155 included coverage for the full build out of the Los Amigos
of which the Lower Bench 80 single family residences ("SFR's) ate a part of. Under
Augmentation Plan, a total of 327 SFR's were augmented. Los Amigos PUD Filings 1
encompass 69 SFR's; Filings 6-10 encompass 178; and the Lower Bench encompasses
Together these add up to aforementioned 327 SFR's.
B. Wastewater Service
Pinyon Mesa will be served via connection with the Spring Valley Sanitation
("SVSD"). Under the Purchase Contract, a Sewer Tap Assignment Agreement has been
to and will be executed at closing on the Pinyon Mesa property. A copy of the draft agreed
Sewer Tap Assignment Agreement, to be executed at closing, is attached hereto as Exhibit "
(Sewer Service Agreement"). In addition, under separate cover, SGM has provided to
County Planning a "will serve" letter from SVSD indicating SVSD's willingness and ability
serve the Pinyon LIesa development.
C. Summary
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that Pinyon Mesa has legally adequate water
sewer service to the proposed development.
If you have any questions, need further information or would like to discuss any of
above, please give me a call.
Very truly yours,
