problems in the South Platte River.) The water co ntaining the GAC is blackened in color and
therefore cann ot be directly introduced into City Ditch for exchange purposes. Therefore , a
s ubstitute suppl y of clear water to be ex c hanged up Ci ty Ditch must be pumped into City Ditch from
a forebay reservoir adjacent to the Alle n Treatment Plant (not to be confused wi th the fo rebay at the
river). (Pumpin g o f this sub stitute suppl y will be unne cessary if the GAC injection at the river
forebay shoul d cease .) Englewood has no pump and pipe to accompli s h the pumping o f thi s
s ub stitute suppl y fr o m the forebay re servoir. Centennial will provide and install such a pump and
pipe. anJ hook it up to a power so urce. at Ce nt ennial's so le expense. Englewood and Centennial will
