Benefits to Park County

Aurora Water is committed to ensuring that the proposed Wild Horse Reservoir Project provides value not only as a water storage project for Aurora, but also as a community asset for Park County. Before evaluating the proposed location, Aurora Water engaged Park County officials, demonstrating a commitment to transparency and collaborative planning. Since then, Park County and Aurora Water have continued working together to evaluate options and share information with the South Park community.
