The Ruedi Water and Power Authority released the "Front Range Water Supply Planning Update" prepared by G. Moss Driscoll, Esq. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the plans and options available to front range communities for further diversions of water from the Roaring Fork watershed. This document will be a valuable addendum to the Roaring Fork Watershed Plan and an essential reference for both local and regional water managers.

The Report covers the following broad topics: 

• Plans for increased front range storage capacity. 
  
• Potential additional development of, and diversion through, Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. 
• Potential increases in diversions by City of Aurora through Busk-Ivanhoe System at headwaters of Fryingpan River. 
• Potential additional diversions through Independence Pass system by Twin Lakes Company and others.
• Short-term and long-term options and recommendations for local water managers and decision makers to assure that further diversions are minimized and their impacts mitigated.
