South Metro communities are starting to plot their next moves to secure a sustainable water supply, according to the Denver Post [October 23, 2005, "South metro leaders explore next water move"]. From the article, "Even with the much-maligned Union Park reservoir apparently dead in the water, south metro Denver leaders say there are still many projects that could help the area stay afloat as it continues to grow. Among the long-term fixes: a billion-dollar pipeline project that would deliver water from the Eastern Plains and also the Rueter-Hess Reservoir, which could hold up to 70,000 acre-feet of water. The city of Parker has taken the lead on both projects and garnered praise from south metro water-watchers for being able to break political gridlock that has prevented many plans from moving forward."
Denver Water isn't the only utility hurting from conservation. According to the Cortez Journal the Dolores Water Conservancy District is in a revenue shortfall because, "water sales did not reach the amount budgeted by its board of directors."
