Horsetooth Reservoir Quality Modeling#

Horsetooth Reservoir

Fort Collins Utilities is collaborating with Northern Water, the City of Greeley and the Tri-Districts on a project to develop a hydrodynamic water quality model of Horsetooth Reservoir.

The model will be used to assess various water quality issues including nutrients, algae, dissolved oxygen, thermal stratification, and the influence of Hansen Feeder Canal interflow on the complex flow patterns within the reservoir.

Every 2 degrees higher you set your air conditioner can save up to 14% on cooling costs.

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

Fort Collins Utilities is a community-owned utility that manages four essential services – Light & Power, Water, Wastewater and Stormwater.
