A recommendation concerning the allocation of municipal project water east of Pueblo raised some questions from Arkansas Valley Conduit Advisory Committee members Tuesday. The committee is recommending that municipal project water east of Pueblo - a total of 12 percent - be allocated to those entities east of Puebo based on population from the 2000 census as a baseline with adjustments for such things as correctional facilities and other factors. If all the entities listed on the table request a full allocation then the percentage of the total population shall be the maximum allowable allocation for each entity. However, the draft proposal states, if all entities do not request an allocation or only portion of the full allocation, the percentages will be determined by the ratio of the total 2000 population of each of the remaining requesting entities to the total 2000 population of all of the remaining entities.
