Strontia Springs Reservoir was completed in 1983 and is used by Denver <br />Water as a regulating facility for the Foothills Water Treatment Plant, which receives water via <br />Denver Foothills Pipeline 26 (aka Conduit No. 26) from the reservoir. The City of Aurora also <br />uses Strontia Springs Reservoir to regulate diversions to meet its demands. Releases can be made <br />directly from the reservoir to Aurora's intake (Structure ID 0801001) and Denver Water's <br />Conduit No. 26 (Structure ID 0801017) -see Figure 2. <br />The Foothills Water Treatment Plant, also completed in 1983, has an operating capacity of 280 <br />mgd but operators have treatment problems at rates higher than 250 mgd for periods longer than <br />a week. Diversions to Strontia Springs Reservoir and Foothills Water Treatment Plant include <br />native and transbasin water, upstream storage releases, and water exchanged from downstream <br />locations. <br />Specifics regarding Strontia Springs Reservoir include: <br />• 7,864 ac-ft total capacity <br />- Denver Account - 7,163 ac-ft, accounting for 1 ac-ft dead pool <br />- Aurora Account - 700 ac-ft <br />• Maximum surface area of 102 acres <br />• 1,227 ac-ft minimum pool including 1 ac-ft of dead storage (7,863 ac-ft active storage <br />capacity) <br />Denver Water Board Operating Memorandum 19 of 40 <br />
