Alternative 5: Fountain Creek
Alternative
The Fountain Creek Alternative is designed to minimize erosion,
sedimentation, and water quality effects on Fountain Creek. Untreated
water would be stored in Pueblo Reservoir, 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 stored in a new reservoir on Williams Creek,
piped to the Arkansas River at the mouth of Fountain Creek, and
would not be exchanged down Fountain Creek. In response to comments
received during the public review process, this alternative was
modified by moving the retu rn flow discharge from the Arkansas
River near Florence to the mouth of Fountain Creek. Pueblo West
would participate in SDS if this alternative was chosen.
