Highway 115 Alternative

Untreated water would be stored in Pueblo Reservoir, exchanged upstream and then diverted from the Arkansas River at the Lester-Attebery ditch near Florence, stored in a new reservoir on Jimmy Camp Creek, treated and distributed to the Participants’ customers. Colorado Springs’ existing untreated water intake near Buena Vista (Ark-Otero Intake) would be reconfigured. This change would allow exchanges to the Lester-Attebery ditch under Colorado Springs’ existing water rights. Pueblo West would not participate in SDS if this alternative were chosen.
