Drilling at edge of Windsor tests Colorado’s pledge to reduce conflict

WINDSOR —Suburban homes and oil wells are sprouting at a fast pace in this town on the northern Colorado plains. Buff- and tan-colored houses — to blend with hills — cover the land in developments with names like Pelican Lakes and Bison Ridge, at prices ranging to $1 million or more. About 300 wells have been drilled within town limits; there are eight approved permits for dozens more wells and a pending application for an additional 28 at a single site.
