District Facts
Forest View Acres Water District’s surface water source is in
Limbaugh canyon. Surface water is susceptible to many forms of
contaminants, such as bacteria, pesticides, industrial waste, algae and
other organic materials. Surface water must be treated to meet the state
and federal regulations for potable water. Forest View Acres Water
District filters and treats its surface water at their Surface Treatment
Plant before sending it to their storage tank.
The Forest View Acres Water District currently maintains one well that
pumps water from the Arapahoe aquifer and one ‘dormant’, undeveloped
well into the Dawson aquifer.
The Dawson aquifer well is about 740 feet deep and, when last tested in
2007, produced 40 gallons of water per minute.
The Arapahoe aquifer well is about 1,250 feet deep and produces volumes
between 90 to 100 gallons per minute. The water from the Arapahoe well
is treated at the Arapahoe Well Plant before being pumped to the
District’s storage tank via the Booster Station (provides pumping power
to ‘boost’ the water uphill to the tank).
The water is distributed to your homes in over xx miles of pipeline of
various sizes and materials supported by one 250,000 gallon storage
tank, that serves the 285 residential taps and 1,000 people in the
Forest View Acres Water District.
A total of 18,616,623 gallons of water were used in 2006.
Less than 5% of indoor water usage and less than 1% of all water in
public water systems is used for drinking and cooking. Varied estimates
put the average indoor water use per person between 60 and 100 gallons
per day.
