Northern Colorado reservoirs have highest storage levels recorded

Northern Colorado cities, farmers and industries have plenty of water stored up this fall. The Greeley Tribune reported Thursday the Colorado-Big Thompson Project has the highest storage levels on record. Colorado-Big Thompson supplies water to Boulder, Broomfield, Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Lafayette, Longmont and Louisville. It also supplies northeastern Colorado farmers and smaller communities. The project has 12 reservoirs including Granby, Carter and Horsetooth. Officials of Northern Water, which manages the Colorado-Big Thompson project, say the abundance came from a wet spring and summer and from the 2013 flood.  AP
