Reservoir Information
As a requirement of the Colorado Division of Water Resources regarding storage rights in the Beers Sisters Reservoir in Blue Heron Park, the District is periodically required to release a portion of the water stored in the reservoir into Coon Creek, a tributary of the South Platte River. The District obtained water rights for the reservoir which are junior to many other public and private entities with water rights that are senior in priority. The reservoir will always experience some water level fluctuation based on snow or rain storms, the seasonal evaporation rate and arid climate. Overall, the District is required to work within the water rights decreed by the State of Colorado.
