Projects

The GMWCD has undertaken the rehabilitation of old reservoirs in order to preserve storage capacity on the Grand Mesa. Currently two projects are under way. First, the construction phase of Peak Reservoir is completed and the reservoir was filled for the 2016 growing season. Minor modifications and seeding requirements were fulfilled this year. Second, the engineering phase of Blanche Park Reservoir is complete. After two years of delays resulting from additional permit requirements from the United States Forest Service, the construction phase is currently planned to begin during the summer of 2018. These reservoirs will add another 155 AF of storage to the GMWCD’s water rights.
