supply during drought periods. Eleven Mile Reservoir was used to regulate some of the City of
<br />Aurora's transbasin water delivered via the Homestake Pipeline prior to Spinney Mountain
<br />Reservoir coming online in 1982.
<br />Specifics regarding Eleven Mile Reservoir include:
<br />• 97,779 ac-ft total capacity
<br />• Maximum surface area of 3,394 acres
<br />• No dead storage
<br />• 97,779 ac-ft active capacity used by Denver Water
<br />• Outlet capacity is not limiting
<br />• Seepage losses from Eleven Mile Reservoir are estimated to be minor because of the dam
<br />and reservoir location in canyon bedrock
<br />An elevation-area-capacity table for Eleven Mile Reservoir was provided by Denver Water, as
<br />summarized in Table 4.
