The water from <br />the holding pond is then piped to the treatment facility located just south of Boyd Lake. The City also <br />has the ability to divert water directly from Boyd Lake into their treatment facilities. Boyd Lake water <br />can also be diverted through an outlet located on the east side of Boyd Lake back into the Greeley and <br />Loveland Canal. <br /> <br />The second point of diversion, Greeley and Loveland Canal, diverts water from the Big <br />Thompson River downstream of the Big Barnes Ditch diversion. The water is then regulated by Hubbs <br />Check into Equalizer Reservoir. <br /> <br />Table III-I lists the reservoirs' storage capacities. Tables III-2 and III-3 list the direct flow and <br />storage rights of the Greeley and Loveland Irrigation Company, respectively. The average annual yield <br />of the overall system is 66,359 acre-feet. This project will not provide any additional water rights or <br />water supplies for the Company. <br /> <br />Table 111-1 Reservoir Storage Capacities <br /> <br />Reservoir Storal!e at 8nillwav Crest (acre-feet) <br />Lake Loveland 12,000 <br />Horseshoe 8,051 .. <br />Bovd Lake 48,871 <br />Heinricv 35 <br />Unner and Lower Hoffman 80 <br />Westerdoll 190 <br />Eoualizer and Houts 885 <br /> <br />Horseshoe Dam No.2 Outlet Works Study <br /> <br />BOYLE <br /> <br />14 <br />
