<br />Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation <br />~-. <br /> <br />Executive Summary <br /> <br />. Dc LilV 01 Aurora currentlY meelS liS waler ncecis mrougn a comoinanon or cnanged <br />irrigation rights, transmountain diversions, alluvial and nontributary wells, water reuse <br />and water conservation, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Aurora has not yet projected an ultimate or build-out demand for its service area Instead, <br />Aurora anticipates future population growth to average 50,000 people per decade with an <br />associated increase in water demands of 10,000 acre-feet per decade, Aurora therefore <br />projects a total water demand of 85,000 acre-feet by the year 2030, Aurora has plans in <br />place to meet its projected year 2020 demands with acquired Arkansas basin agricultural <br />rights, additional effluent reuse, rehabilitation of its Cherry Creek alluvial wells, and <br />other minor proj ects. <br /> <br />Aurora's plans for meeting its needs beyond the year 2020 include the Eagle River <br />Conjunctive Use Project (in cooperation with the City of Colorado Springs), the South <br />Park Conjunctive Use Project, and additional water reuse. Aurora is participating in <br />cooperative planning activities of effluent management in the Northeast Metro sub-region <br />described below, Aurora is also working with Denver Water to explore cooperative <br />opportunities involving those entities' existing South Platte reservoirs. <br /> <br />The Northeast Metro Sub-relrion includes Thornton, South Adams County Water & <br />Sanitation District and Brighton. The water supply sources currently available to this <br />sub-region include municipal and changed irrigation rights on the South Platte and Clear <br />Creek, alluvial and nontributary wells, and exchange rights, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The long-term water demands for this sub-region are projected to be about 120,000 acre- <br />feet per year, Most of this demand is associated with the build-out demands of the City <br />of Thornton, Providers in this sub-region have plans in place to meet about 100,000 acre- <br />feet of this need, <br /> <br />Current planning efforts are focused on meeting the remaining 20,000 acre-feet of needs <br />for this area, which are primarily associated with anticipated growth in Brighton and the <br />South Adams County Water and Sanitation District Denver and Aurora are also <br />involved in these planning efforts because of their interest in water reuse opportunities <br />and because portions of their service areas are located in this sub-region, Current <br />planning efforts are focused on development of gravel pit storage facilities, maximizing <br />exchanges and finding uses for Aurora's and Denver Water's excess supplies of reusable <br />effluent Providers are particularly interested in addressing water quality problems <br />associated with municipal diversions located downstream of most of the urbanized metro <br />Denver area, <br /> <br />The Northwest Metro Sub-rel!:ion includes Arvada, Broomfield, the Consolidated <br />Mutual Water Company, Golden, Northglenn, Westminster and other small providers in <br />the Clear Creek basin, The water supply sources currently available to this sub-region <br />consist primarily of Clear Creek municipal rights and changed irrigation rights and partial <br />service contracts with Denver Water, which are mostly satisfied via deliveries from the <br />Moffat Tunnel Collection System, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Xl <br /> <br />Prepared for the Colorado Water Conservation Board, Colorado Department of Natural Resources by <br />Hydrosphere Resource Consultants, 1002 Walnut Street.
