The August 21, 2000 approval permitted fire flow improvements to Spruce Saddle, Red Tail Camp and Beano's Cabin at Beaver Creek Resort. The system improvements included a 60 gallon per minute lift station; 113,000 gallons of new storage capacity; water lines for fire hydrants, and modification to existing pressure reduction valves (the "Project ").
