 Greeley's Water Strategy Delivers Reliable Supply in Dry Year
Greeley’s reliable water supply starts high in the mountains, where reservoirs collect and store snowmelt and runoff long before the community needs it.
That long-term approach to water storage has shaped Greeley’s strategy for decades. It also positioned the city as a leader in major regional water projects, especially the Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) system. Greeley was one of the early users of this project, which brings water from the other side of the Continental Divide. Today, Greeley owns more C-BT units than any other municipal provider.
Even though the City's other water rights didn't yield much water this year, the C-BT system was nearly full. Greeley's ownership in this system has helped strengthen the City's position during a drought year.
That strong water supply outlook led the Greeley Water & Sewer Board to declare an adequate water year in April and confirm that no watering restrictions were needed for Greeley residents.
“Reliable water service depends on more than what falls from the sky in a single year,” said Brian Von Seggern, water resource operations manager for the City of Greeley. “It comes from years of planning, smart investments and building a system that can respond to changing conditions.”

Wastewater Treatment Plant Gets Some Needed Attention
Greeley’s Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility recently completed important infrastructure replacement as part of its 4-P Project. Crews replaced old gates in the influent wet well, the first collection point where wastewater enters the plant and is temporarily stored before moving to the next stage of treatment.
The old gates were worn out, leaking and no longer able to properly isolate each channel for cleaning and maintenance. The work was completed during a carefully planned 50-hour operation from June 1-3. The new gates will improve safety, make maintenance easier and support future equipment upgrades.
