 The proposed Union Park Reservoir is getting attention again, according to the Denver Post [May 29, 2005, "Reservoir plan resurfaces with new pitch from senator"]. From the article, "State Sen. Jim Dyer's plan to provide water for Colorado growth is pumping new life into a project most have given up for dead, the $2.5 billion Union Park reservoir at the headwaters of the Gunnison River. This week, Dyer, an influential Republican from Arapahoe County, will help drum up support before the El Paso County Water Authority. If it was built, Union Park would become the state's largest reservoir, almost 35 percent larger than Blue Mesa near Grand Junction. The project has been scorned for more than 16 years by environmentalists and Western Slope leaders, as well as usual Dyer allies such as Gov. Bill Owens."
Here's a link to an opinion piece from Ed Quillen on Union Park.
