Fort Collins city council unanimous in opposition to NISP

Hours after the Larimer County county commissioners voiced support for the Northern Integrated Supply Project, Fort Collins city council took the opposite stance.

The Coloradoan reports that council was unanimous in supporting a resolution to oppose NISP in its currently proposed form.

If approved, NISP would include construction of Glade and Galeton reservoirs, which combined could store more than 215,000 acre-feet of water, 40,000 of which would be allocated to municipal water supplies annually. Glade Reservoir, which would be larger than Horsetooth Reservoir west of Fort Collins, would be built north of the intersection of U.S. Highway 287 and Colorado Highway 14 northwest of Fort Collins and would hold up to 170,000 acre-feet of water diverted from the Cache la Poudre River. Galeton Reservoir would be built east of Ault and Eaton in Weld County and hold up to 45,000 acre-feet of South Platte River water.
