Program Overview#

Utilities is a shareholder in several local ditch and reservoir companies and holds allotment contracts for the delivery of CBT water. After treated and raw water demands are met for our existing customers and raw water delivery obligations are fulfilled, there is typically surplus water that can be rented. This water is allocated through the annual Raw Water Rental Program. 

The Utilities has four sources of rental water:

  1. North Poudre Irrigation Company (NPIC)
  2. Water Supply and Storage Company (WSSC)
  3. Colorado-Big Thompson (CBT)
  4. Fully consumable supplies

It only takes 12 inches of flowing water to carry off small vehicles. Don’t drive through flood water.

Lowering the water-heater temperature to the lowest comfortable setting saves money.
