Denver Water
Doing a little history on the South Platte/Denver Water
From Water Law, Denver Water
"People who turn on their faucets in the Denver Water service area don't know whether the source of their water is the South Platte River located on the East Slope of the mountains or from the Colorado River or its tributaries on the West Slope. The Colorado Constitution recognizes no differences either, and states that "water of every natural stream… is hereby declared to be the property of the public. …"
The reason the state constitution and the courts recognize no geographic advantage in water is because water rights are a right to use water. As long as water is put to a recognized beneficial use and water is available, anyone may go to water court for a decreed right to use water."
1989 — The Army Corps of Engineers issued a construction permit for Two Forks Reservoir. Later that year, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it would begin the veto process for the project. Two Forks, which could have stored 1.1 million acre-feet of water, would have been built on the South Platte River about 25 miles upstream of Denver.
1990 — The proposed Two Forks Dam project on South Platte River was vetoed by the Environmental Protection Agency.
