Future Planning

Securing the future of water

By the year 2050, the population of the Northern Front Range will double. Water is a valuable and limited resource that we all need. Fort Collins-Loveland Water District is dedicated to preparing for the future and developing a smart and dependable water portfolio to ensure the water needs of all current and future customers is met.

For additional information about how we’re preparing for the future check out our Rate Study Summary, or view the full Rate Study Report completed in 2018. For the 2023 rate study information, view it HERE. For the 2024 tap fee study, view it here.

Where does our water come from?

FCLWD currently gets its water from the North Poudre Irrigation Company, Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) project, Josh Ames, Divide Canal and Reservoir Company, and Windsor Reservoir Company. While we have enough water for all existing customers in our service area, and for the growth we are currently experiencing, we will need an additional 8,000 acre-feet of water to meet the demand of our growing service area by 2032.

What’s an acre-foot? An acre-foot is equal to 325,851 gallons of water or one football field of water one foot deep.

What does the District do to protect against drought?

We’ve taken a hard look at our water portfolio to ensure we can consistently deliver water to you; no matter what Mother Nature delivers.  Take a look at our Drought and Water Supply Summary.

What are we doing to prepare for the future?

To close the anticipated gap, FCLWD is looking to other water source options, including our partnership with FrontRange H2O through their Vita H20 project  and the Northern Integrated Water Supply Project (NISP)
