Alternative 3: Wetland Alternative
The Wetland Alternative is designed to minimize permanent effects
on wetlands and to have the least surface disturbance. Untreated
water would be diverted from Pueblo Reservoir, conveyed to and stored
in a new reservoir, treated, and distributed to the Participants’
customers. Colorado Springs’ return flows would be piped from
their existing and future wastewater treatment plants to the Arkansas
River near Florence, and would not be exchanged down Fountain Creek.
Pueblo West would participate in SDS if this alternative was chosen.
