Population figures show that the three fastest growing communities in Colorado since 2010 are Firestone, Windsor and Erie (in that order) – all three of which are participants in the Northern Integrated Supply Project. This reaffirms what Northern Water and NISP participants and supporters have stressed all along; that this project is needed to help meet the future water needs of smaller communities along the Front Range that are growing rapidly.

In addition to those three communities sitting at the very top of the list, Lafayette, which is a participant in both NISP and the Windy Gap Firming Project, was No. 11, while Louisville – a Windy Gap Firming Project participant – was No. 14.
