EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Riverton City requested acomparison study be conducted to evaluate the cost of changing
the primary source of culinary water for the City This study was limited to the comparison of two
alternatives Alternative 1 continue pumping water from wells owned by the City far its primary source
and purchasing water from Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District JVWCD as a back up and
secondary culinary water source Alternative 2 convert the water purchased from JVWCD as the primary
source and use well water from up culinary water source This study includes
City owned wells as a back
a
qualitative comparison of the two alternatives and a
quantitative analysis to compare the total cost of
two alternatives The total cost for each alternative
operating the culinary water system under each ofthe
is then converted to rates to evaluate the feasibility of the second alternative
anticipated user
total dissolved solids content in water is associated with water hardness and may affect taste The
TDS
TDS in the water obtained from the City wells is greater than that obtained from JVWCD As a result
s
the City may choose to pursue Alternative 2 of JVWCD water as a primary water source if the cost
using
increase is not significant and no other serious consequences result due to making the change
The benefits that Riverton City would see resulting from the added use of JVWCD water include
Reduction in power and maintenance costs associated with operating the culinary wells
Increased water purchase rates from JVWCD thus higher monthly costs
System upgrade costs to make the system switch possible
Pump stations wells and reservoirs will still need to be maintained to remain operational
Steeper water rate increases
It would take Jordan Valley one upgrade their system making this system switch possible
to two years to
Improvements over and above those identified in this study would be required to achieve adequate system
of the culinary water system for the 10
pressures and fire flows throughout the City The operating costs
year study period 2018
2009 were estimated for each ofthe two alternatives These costs included direct
expenses depreciation professional expenses and operating expenses Alternative 2 also included the
cost for system upgrades that are known to be necessary for the system switch to happen These costs
were estimated based on historical cost data and cost increase ratesprojected growth rates and rate data
and projections provided by JVWCD The total cost for the study period along with a rate summary for
each alternative is shown in the table below

COST COMPAIRISON STUDY FOR
WELL WATER VERSES
This study has been conducted at the request ofRiverton City to determine the cost feasibility of
modifying the City
sprimary source for culinary water Currently the majority of the culinary water is
pumped from City owned deep production wells and the remainder is purchased under a take or pay
contract from Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District JVWCD
parts per million These regulations are only secondary standards that are in place for cosmetic or
aesthetic purposes and are not enforceable unless the State adopts them as standards Riverton City
s
current water quality report shows a range from 852 to 1010 ppm of TDS Jordan scurrent report
Valley
shows a range from 117 to 512 ppm ofTDS
In this study the cost of pumping fromproduction wells was compared to the cost of purchasing JVWCD
water for the majority ofthe
s culinary water supply Alternatives 1 and 2 require a second source
City
used as a back up or secondary source Currently water rates for the parts ofthe City served primarily by
production wells are lower than the rates served entirely by JVWCD water This is the result of the
productions well water costing the City less to provide to the public than the JVWCD water
METHOD OF STUDY
The costs associated with Alternative 1 were estimated based on historical budget data and projections
made in the Riverton Water
System Master Plan Update 2008 The costs associated with
City Culinary
Alternative 2 were estimated based on the same planning projections and by reducing the projected costs
associated with well operations and increasing the projected costs associated with purchasing water from
7VWCD Costs for the JVWCD water will be estimated based on data provided by JVWCD The costs
associated with both alternatives were broken down by the differences in each plan and all assumptions
and limitations of tl
e study were included

HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED CULINARY WATER USAGE
Culinary water usage has declined in Riverton City since the year 2000 due to the installation of a
secondary water system Prior to the installation of the secondary water system Riverton City had an
average usage rate greater than the Utah State average of approximately 750 gallons per day gpd per
connection The City is now well below the state average at 430 gpd per connection Current projections
estimate that the water usage per connection will remain constant into the future now that the
culinary
secondary water system has reached build out Table 1 contains the historical and projected culinary
water usage per connection for Riverton City from 2000 to 201

PEAK DEMANDS
During the summer months a higher demand for culinary water still exists even with the installation of
the secondary water system This is partially due to some users including a golf course and several
schools using culinary water for irrigation It has been determined that a peaking factor of 1
76 should be
used to estimate the volume of culinary water used in July compared to the average monthly use
JVWCD uses thepeak usage of its customers during the summer to evaluate what rates to charge the
water year Riverton has been able to keep their rates lower than many by utilizing the
following
production wells during the hottest part of the year Jordan Valley has higher water purchase rates from
May through October so projections for water use by month were made to help estimate water
purchasing casts Roughly 69 of culinary water use ui Riverton is used during that time Table 2 below
provides a monthly breakdown ofthe anticipated culinary water usage for the study period
