The debate over whether to build a half-billion-dollar pipeline to carry water from Fort Collins to Thornton is now up to three Larimer County commissioners.
LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — The future of a half-billion-dollarthat would carry water from Fort Collins to Thornton is now in the hands of three county commissioners.
"Water is critical to everybody on the planet and it’s critical to this city," Barnes said."It’s to the point where we don’t have certainty on our water supply." Thornton is Colorado’s sixth-largest city and is growing quickly. The city said without more water, it can’t build more housing, which in turn raises the price of a home for everyone.
The new plan for the pipeline follows a different path, only crossing through 10.4 miles of Larimer County instead of 27 miles. It still hasn’t won everyone over, with people at the commission meeting asking to prioritize concerns for the river’s health. Others speaking at the commission meeting urged commissioners that the future of development in Thornton relies on the ability to provide water to people wanting to live there.
