Ensuring a Reliable Water Supply for Aurora
The Wild Horse Reservoir Project is a proposal from Aurora Water to build a new off-channel reservoir southwest of Spinney Mountain Reservoir near Hartsel, Colorado, in Park County. The proposed project would provide the critical water storage that Aurora Water needs to ensure reliable water supply during severe droughts or system emergencies.
Aurora Water maintains the project information on this website. The project is currently in the planning and pre-permitting phase as Aurora Water prepares for the required environmental reviews and permitting processes. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), as the lead federal agency, is managing the federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process for the project. Aurora Water is working with state and county government officials on additional reviews and permitting applications. Learn more about project review and permitting.
