A New Water Project to Support Growing Communities
The Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) will deliver up to 40,000 acre-feet of new, reliable water annually to water providers across Colorado's Northern Front Range. Northern Water is leading the permitting, design and construction of this vital project on behalf of its participants. Key components of NISP include:
Glade Reservoir and Galeton Reservoir
Relocation of U.S. Highway 287
A new tunnel and canal to deliver water to the Glade Forebay from the Poudre River near the canyon mouth
Five pump plants to support water movement and delivery
Delivery pipelines to participating communities
Together, these elements form a modern, efficient water supply system designed to meet the needs of a growing population while supporting agriculture, recreation and environmental stewardship.
