Proposed Action
Our Preferred Alternative for SDS is a 53-mile-long
underground pipeline originating from Pueblo Dam. It also includes
one pump station in Pueblo County, plus two pump stations, a water-treatment
plant and two reservoirs in El Paso County.
A pipeline from Pueblo Dam is the most cost effective
and efficient option among the hundreds of possible combinations
considered because it:
| • |
There are significant operational efficiencies
with taking our water directly from Pueblo Reservoir. |
| • |
Lower construction costs than other options.
|
| • |
Will increase our overall system reliability
in the event other parts of our system need maintenance or repair. |
