From the Leadville Herald Democrat (Ann E. Wibbenmeyer):
The project cost is approximately $1,607,000. $728,000 of that is from a mineral impact grant. The rest of the funding comes from the district’s capital reserve fund, according to Scott Marcella, manager. The district has been saving and working on the project for eight years, he said. The line will be replacing a problem line from the West Park subdivision to the highway. At one time, said Marcella, a part of that line was dug up and it was discovered that there wasn’t any pipeline present for the line. The line was put in when West Park was moved from Climax in the 1960s, and done hastily, said Marcella.
