One of the common questions that we have been receiving this summer is whether Aurora Water is planning on having one project or three for the proposed Wild Horse Reservoir project?

The proposed Wild Horse Reservoir project would only be one site in Park County. The reason the latest map Aurora Water released has three locations on it is because the other sites in Park County are being evaluated as alternatives in the environmental review process being led by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
