Advantages Potentially workable location on the river for Windsor’s needs, but not as good as the other storage options. This site could serve as an amenity for the Town. Disadvantages There will be a higher cost for infrastructure and easements to convey water to the property from the Greeley No. 2Canal. There are higher costs related to infrastructure to divert from and back to the Cache la Poudre River. There may be floodplain/floodway issues due to the proximity to the river. Small size compared to Windsor’s ultimate need. Alternative No. 4 – Kyger Reservoir The Kyger Reservoir is located between the Greeley No. 2 Canal and the Cache la th Poudre River in the SE ¼ of Section 13, T6N, R68W, in the 6P.M. The Kyger Reservoir is currently being lined and will undergo the 90-day leak test performance standard referenced in the August 1999 State Engineer Guidelines for Lining Criteria in last this summer or early fall, producing 1,000-1,100 acre-feet of storage. There is a pre-existing headgate off the Greeley No. 2 Canal that serves a lateral ditch that ultimately runs to the northwest corner of the Kyger property. This headgate and ditch will need to be repaired and expanded in order to adequately handle the desired flow rate of 20 cfs to the reservoir plus any additional carriage flow to meet the demands of other users along the ditch. Advantages The reservoir will be completed by the end of 2013. Good location in relation to the Greeley No. 2 Canal with some pre-existing infrastructure to divert and carry water to the reservoir. Close proximity tothe Cache la Poudre River. Location works well for the Town’s augmentation obligations. This site could serve as a future park amenity for the Town since it is located at the gateway into Town. There is an ongoing feasibility study evaluating this location for a future water treatment plant (WTP). Storage at this location is valuable should a future WTP be constructed. The 1,000-1,100 acre-feet is the ideal size to meet the Town’s current and future non-potable water needs.
