This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ...Dakota Sandstone. This well pumps 4 gpm, and consumption averages 3,000 gpd. The town gets water for other uses from the Colorado Canal. Fowler.--Fowler has two water systems--a hard-water supply for sanitation and irrigation and a softer supply for washing and cooking. (See Weist, 1963, for a discussion of "hard" and "soft" as applied to water in this area.) The soft water is supplied by eight or nine springs along the southern edge of the Nebraskan deposits north of the Arkansas River. The springs have a combined flow of about 100 gpm, md the town uses an average of 45,000 gpd. The hard water is supplied by six wells drilled into the Wisconsin terrace deposits in or near the town limits; all are less than 35 feet deep. One well is used for the town cemetery, and one is used primarily for the swimming pool. The yield of the wells ranges from 250 to 450 gpm; no information is available on the amount of water withdrawn. La Junta.--La Junta has 12 wells (in 3 well fields) tapping the Wisconsin terrace deposits. The wells are all about 40 feet deep and yield from 400 to 1,000 gpm. About %y2 million gallons is used daily. M'anzanola.--Manzanola has a soft-water supply for cooking and washing and a hard-water supply for sanitation and irrigation. The softer water comes from two wells: one is 1,365 feet deep and pumps 45 gpm from the Dakota Sandstone and Cheyenne Sandstone Member of the Purgatoire Formations; the other well is 1,113 feet deep and pumps 50 gpm from the Dakota Sandstone. The town uses an average of 70,000 gpd from the two wells. In addition, water is hauled from the wells to supply 550 to 600 people outside the town. In 1962 a third deep well was being drilled to meet increased demands. The hard water comes from a 37-foot...
