Gross Dam and Reservoir Expansion Project
Sector: Water Supply and Storage • Location: Denver, Colorado, United States
Source: Bond Buyer
The project involves expanding the Gross Reservoir by raising the Gross Dam 131 feet, which would triple the reservoir's water capacity. The expansion is part of a $1.5 billion, five-year capital program announced by Denver Water in October 2020. Construction on the dam is allowed to continue due to safety concerns, but the reservoir expansion is currently halted by a permanent injunction.
