Downstream Intake Alternative

Although this alternative did not pass alternative cost screening criteria, Reclamation will study this alternative due to public interest.

Untreated water would be stored in Pueblo Reservoir, released from the dam and then diverted from the Arkansas River downstream of Fountain Creek, stored in a new reservoir on Jimmy Camp Creek, treated and distributed to the Participants’ customers. Colorado Springs’ return flows would be stored in a new reservoir on Williams Creek prior to exchange down Fountain Creek.Pueblo West would not participate in SDS if this alternative were chosen.
