<br />City of Northglenn 2007 Water Conservation Plan <br /> <br />1 - PROFILE THE EXISTING WA TER SYSTEM <br /> <br />1. 1 Profile Physical Characteristics of the Existing Water Supply System <br /> <br />Northglenn is located nine miles north of Denver, Colorado in western Adams County <br />(Figure 1). The City began as a planned community in the spring of 1959, when a <br />housing and land development firm finalized plans for a large housing subdivision north <br />of the Denver Metropolitan area. The vision of a well-balanced community included <br />acres of open space for parks and recreational development along with residential, <br />industrial, educational and commercial plans. From the first residential development in <br />1959, Northglenn has grown to a home rule City with a population of 36,857 <br />encompassing 7.5 square miles of land. In addition to Northglenn proper, City <br />boundaries include a parcel of land referred to as "Section 36" located northwest of the <br />City in Weld County. Northglenn's wastewater treatment facility is located in Section 36 <br />and some form of commercial and light industrial development is likely to occur in the <br />future. <br /> <br />Figure 1: City of Northglenn Service Area <br /> <br />Northglenn <br />(secliOn 3-6) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(..j. ~ <br />~~rl 0-J <br />I .
