under review.
18. Comment: The off -set of the intersections of Seneca Street with West
Horsetooth Road create a very difficult situation.
19. Question: Will sewer lines go down the middle of the street and tie into
Horsetooth Road?

irrigation water to your properties.

the way that you propose. There is too long of a run and too
much water loss.

grate on the top for the ditch laterals.
24. Question: The existing Pleaseant Valley & Lake Canal will remain
untouched?
Answer: Yes, it will.
25. Comment: It would be good to upgrade the ditch in conjunction with
