Fountain Creek Alternative

The Fountain Creek Alternative is designed to minimize erosion, sedimentation and water quality effects on Fountain Creek. Untreated water would be stored in Pueblo Reservoir, diverted from Pueblo Reservoir, stored in a new reservoir on Jimmy Camp Creek, treated and distributed to the Participants’ customers. Colorado Springs’ return flows would stored in a new reservoir on Williams Creek, piped to the mouth of Fountain Creek at the Arkansas River, and would not be exchanged down Fountain Creek.
