Getting Water to Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs is fortunate to have one of the
finest sources of drinking water in the nation -- the Rocky Mountains.
Seventy percent of our water comes directly from snowmelt near the
Continental Divide, making it among the purest drinking water in
the country. And we’ve built an extensive water collection
and distribution system that includes 25 reservoirs and dams, more
than 200 miles of pipes and four major pump stations to bring that
water to our city. We take great pride in providing our customers
with drinking water that’s among the best in the nation. |
