State Rep. Arndt
“I am keenly aware of the need for responsible water projects that develop additional supplies while protecting and even enhancing the State’s fish, wildlife, and natural resources. Fort Collins’ proposal to enlarge Halligan Reservoir is a great example of such a project.”
“In addition to securing much need storage for Fort Collins, the Halligan Reservoir enlargement provides a net benefit to the aquatic ecosystem. The project will significantly and permanently improve flows within a 22 mile stretch of the North Fork of the Poudre River. This river segment historically suffers from extremely low flows during much of the year, leading to poor environmental conditions for fish and wildlife along its course. Through the Halligan Reservoir enlargement, minimum flows will rise, dry reaches will be eliminated, and fish passage will be improved.”
