Where do we get our water?

When the District purchased the 1958 vintage water plant from the City of Aurora in 1972, it also obtained a water agreement for 50 years. Aurora has a diversion pipe at Strontia Springs Reservoir (6 miles up Waterton Canyon on the South Platte River). From that point it is piped to the Aurora Rampart Reservoir which is just southeast of the Fire Station entrance to Roxborough State Park. The District, by pipeline, takes the water from the reservoir to the District water plant for treatment, whereby it is delivered to the area. The District uses no ground water in its water supply. The District's water treatment is regulated by the Colorado State Department of Health.
