If approved, the Halligan Water Supply Project will enlarge Halligan Reservoir by approximately 8,100 acre-feet to help provide additional protection for Fort Collins Utilities' water customers from future service interruptions during emergencies.

The Oak Street Stormwater Improvements Project is one of several stormwater projects that have been identified as part of the overall Downtown Stormwater Improvement Program (DSIP) and will contribute to resolving the urban flooding issues in downtown Fort Collins.

Fort Collins Utilities will replace a section of a raw waterline that delivers water from the Poudre River to the Water Treatment Facility. The flow in the river will not be impacted, as the construction contractor will divert the river water to flow around the construction site and will only be working half of the river crossing at a time.

Downtown Fort Collins is at risk for flooding and pollution from urban stormwater runoff from downtown can impact the Cache la Poudre River. DSIP will address the five major stormwater projects remaining in the downtown area.
