It’s a highly unusual and tricky undertaking.” “Taking the north end out of the equation means we have to set up our southern end for all the heavy lifting for nearly an eight-month span.
“We’ve been setting the stage on this for months,” Elder said. It means Denver Water will need to rely almost fully on supplies from the southern collection system, which collects water from the South Platte River and Dillon Reservoir. The complicated rearrangement is necessary so crews can complete a series of "major maintenance and construction projects," according to Denver Water.
“And it all comes on top of watching the weather to see what it might, or might not, bring us as far as precipitation.” “Shifting all that water here and there - it’s a lot to keep straight, a lot to think about, a lot to juggle,” said Nathan Elder, manager of water supply for Denver Water. In the months leading up to this undertaking, Denver Water has had to move mountains of water from its northern region to the systems in its southern region.
