Northern Water

Northern Water, a public agency, was established in 1937 and is based in Berthoud, Colorado. It employs 113 people and generates an annual revenue of $50 million. Northern Water was created to build and manage the Colorado-Big Thompson Project, a water management system that collects water from the West Slope of Colorado and delivers it to the East Slope through a 13-mile tunnel beneath Rocky Mountain National Park. This project serves a vast area encompassing portions of eight counties, irrigating 615,000 acres of land and providing water to a population exceeding one million people. Northern Water plays a critical role in ensuring a reliable water supply for a growing region. Its work involves managing water resources, ensuring the efficient delivery of water to various users, and collaborating with stakeholders to address water-related challenges.
