The water demands supplied by the Denver Water system are located throughout the Denver <br />metropolitan area. The Denver Water supply infrastructure within the South Platte River basin is <br />split into two systems based on locations of components (Northern system and Southern system), <br />yet the infrastructure and water rights used have built in operational flexibility to be able to <br />provide water for all uses from all parts of the system. <br />Key structures identified for the Denver Water system in the South Platte River basin are as <br />follows: <br />Northern System <br />1) Moffat Tunnel <br />2) Gross Reservoir <br />3) South Boulder Diversion Canal <br />4) Ralston Reservoir and Moffat Water Treatment Plant <br />Southern System <br />5) Roberts Tunnel <br />6) Antero Reservoir <br />7) Eleven Mile Reservoir <br />8) Cheesman Reservoir <br />9) Strontia Springs Reservoir and Foothills Water Treatment Plant <br />10) Denver Conduit No. 20 and Platte Canyon Reservoir <br />ll) Marston Reservoir and Marston Water Treatment Plant <br />12) High Line Canal <br />13) Chatfield Reservoir <br />Denver Water structures on the western slope are discussed in detailed in the Upper Colorado <br />River Water Resource Planning Model documentation. <br />PHYSICAL INFORMATION <br />Denver Water's supply system consists of the key storage facilities and major diversion <br />structures that import water into the South Platte River basin and the water rights by which <br />Denver Water is entitled to divert water. These key structures are operated together to supply <br />water to a combined service area that includes the City and County of Denver and portions of <br />Jefferson, Adams, Broomfield, Douglas, and Arapahoe Counties. The key storage and delivery <br />structures that are owned by Denver Water are classified as two major systems: the Northern <br />system (also referred to as the Moffat Collection System), which delivers water into the South <br />Platte River basin via the Moffat Tunnel, and the Southern system, which delivers water into the <br />Upper South Platte River via the Roberts Tunnel. Both of these systems supplement Denver <br />Water's South Platte water rights portfolio. <br />The following sections include physical descriptions of the key structures in the South Platte <br />River basin followed by a description and discussion of Denver's water rights and operations in <br />the South Platte River basin.
