It looks like Colorado water utilities are re-charging underground aquifers inadvertently, according to the Rocky Mountain News [July 4, 2005, "Utilities lose 9.5% of water to leaks"]. From the article, "Colorado utilities lose enough water from their systems each year - an average of 9.5 percent of the water they attempt to deliver - to almost fill Chatfield Reservoir south of Denver, according to a Rocky Mountain News analysis. In times of drought, such losses are the topic of highly charged community debates, as utilities prod their customers to stop wasting water even as they struggle to track their own leaks...Colorado's largest municipal utility, Denver Water, loses about 4.6 percent of the water it seeks to deliver, or 3.45 billion gallons."
