Windsor Joins Regional Effort to Secure Water Solutions for the Future

The Fort Collins-Loveland Water District (FCLWD), Town of Eaton, Town of Severance and Town of Windsor have announced the formation of the Cobb Lake Regional Water Treatment Authority (CLRWTA) – a forward-thinking collaboration created to meet the long-term water treatment needs of the rapidly growing region served by these local water providers.

“By 2050, the population of Northern Colorado is expected to double,” Mayor Paul Rennemeyer said. “Such significant growth requires the need to secure adequate water supply well in advance. CLRWTA entities are among the 15 Front Range participants in Northern Water’s Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) and, as part of that 20-year project, Cache la Poudre River water will be stored in Glade Reservoir, delivered to the CLRWTA

treatment plant and distributed to the four entities through a shared underground pipeline.”

Water projects in Colorado are subject to strict environmental laws and regulations. For NISP, experts analyzed 16 individual project concepts with 215 potential elements and agreed that NISP is the best solution to supply Northern Colorado with this critical resource. The formation of CLRWTA continues the commitment to meet high standards of environmental and social responsibility by working collaboratively on one new water treatment project instead of four independent entities working alone on separate projects.

CLRWTA will be constructing up to 20 miles of underground pipeline and a state-of-the-art water treatment facility located 10 miles north of

Windsor in Weld County. This project will primarily be paid for by new growth, though it also offers existing customers the benefits of increased resiliency and economies of scale from shared infrastructure.
