The importance of the C-BT and Windy Gap <br />water supplies has increased with the City's population and water demand because 1) it can be <br />used as direct supply via the Boulder Reservoir Treatment Plant and 2) because it can be used via <br />exchange to Boulder's upper intakes. Water can also be delivered to Boulder Reservoir from the <br />Farmers Ditch which diverts from Main Boulder Creek. The Main Boulder Creek System <br />includes Boulder Reservoir, the Farmers Ditch, the Boulder Feeder Canal and the Boulder Supply <br />Canal. <br />Boulder Reservoir (Structure ID 0604515) <br />Boulder Reservoir was constructed in 1955 <br />for the purposes of irrigation and drinking <br />water and is owned by the City and operated <br />by the Northern Colorado Water <br />Conservancy District. The reservoir serves <br />to regulate delivery of C-BT and Windy Gap <br />water owned by the City and others on <br />Boulder Creek below the City. The City has <br />developed a marina, park and other facilities <br />at the Reservoir and it is extensively used for <br />recreation. <br />The capacity of Boulder Reservoir is 13,100 <br />acre-feet. Active capacity of the Reservoir is <br />12,800 acre-feet, with 300 acre-feet of dead <br />storage. Area vs. capacity information for <br />Boulder Reservoir is shown in Table 2. <br />City of Boulder Memo.Doc Page 13 of 30 March 9, 2005 <br />Boulder Reservoir <br />
