We're planning for our future by creating two new reservoirs - Glade and Galeton, completing various ditch and canal improvements, and building safe and resilient pipelines.
As part of the NISP Fish and Wildlife Mitigation and Enhancement Plan, numerous project elements will benefit stream flows, wildlife and the natural environment we all enjoy.

Relocate and bring up to modern safety standards approximately seven miles of U.S. Highway 287 northwest of Fort Collins
Complete various ditch and canal improvements throughout the system to increase reliability and reduce waste
Bury large, safe, resilient pipelines to enable cooperative water exchanges and delivery to cities, towns and water districts that provide water to 500,000 people today
