<br />Horsetooth Reservoir is west of Fort Collins between two hogback ridges, where Horsetooth Dam <br />closes the gap at one end. Soldier, Dixon, and Spring Canyon Dams and Satanka Dike close the <br />remaining gaps. An outlet at Soldier Canyon Dam supplies water to the City of Fort Collins, three <br />rural domestic water districts, Colorado State University, and the Dixon Feeder Canal for the <br />irrigated area cut off from its original water supply by the reservoir. The principal outlet from <br />Horsetooth Reservoir is through Horsetooth Dam into the Charles Hansen Supply Canal. <br /> <br />This canal delivers water to a chute discharging into the Cache la Poudre River and to a siphon <br />crossing the river to supply the Windsor Reservoir and Canal Company. A turnout from the Supply <br />Canal supplies the City of Greeley municipal water works. Water is delivered to the river to <br />replace, by exchange, that water diverted upstream to the North Poudre Supply Canal, which <br />conveys it to the North Poudre Irrigation Company System. <br /> <br />6 <br />
