C-BT Reservoir Storage (USBR HydroMet)
66% full · 630,792 / 954,473 AFC-BT east-side terminal reservoir — Fort Collins municipal supply
Updated 1.2 min ago — obs. 05/12/2026 13:15
📌 NPIC holds senior storage right here; key C-BT delivery point
C-BT east-side reservoir — Longmont / Berthoud area supply
Updated 1.2 min ago — obs. 05/12/2026 14:15
📌 C-BT reservoir; 2026 quota 50% = ~56,000 AF allocation
C-BT west-side collection — largest C-BT storage
Updated 1.2 min ago — obs. 05/12/2026 13:15
📌 West-slope collection; pumped through Adams Tunnel to east slope
Blue River C-BT west-side storage — currently low (2026 drought)
Updated 1.2 min ago — obs. 05/12/2026 14:15
📌 Low fill % this year is a key driver of the 50% C-BT quota
Stream Gauges — Cache la Poudre / N Fork (USGS)
Main stem — NPIC primary diversion reference
16% of typical seasonal range
Updated 1.2 min ago
📌 NPIC diverts from N Fork above this gauge; rights priority #97
Inflow to Halligan — shows available storage fill
3% of typical seasonal range
Updated 1.2 min ago
📌 Flow above Halligan feeds NPIC reservoir storage
Outflow from Halligan — 0 CFS means reservoir holding all inflow
0% of typical seasonal range
Updated 1.2 min ago
📌 Near-zero values indicate Halligan is filling or holding water
Upper watershed — early indicator of runoff conditions
2% of typical seasonal range
Updated 1.2 min ago
📌 Upstream of Halligan; reflects snowmelt runoff from upper N Fork
Upper Poudre canyon — outflow from Fort Collins's Joe Wright Reservoir
3% of typical seasonal range
Updated 1.2 min ago
📌 Joe Wright Reservoir was NPIC-owned until 1972, when NPIC traded it + Michigan Ditch to Fort Collins in exchange for water rights. Fort Collins (NPIC's largest stockholder at ~36% of shares) now operates this reservoir.
Lower Poudre near Timnath — downstream of NPIC diversions
52% of typical seasonal range
Updated 1.2 min ago
📌 Downstream reference: lower flow here relative to Fort Collins gauge indicates active upstream diversions
C-BT delivery corridor — Lake Estes outflow en route to Horsetooth
7% of typical seasonal range
Updated 1.2 min ago
📌 C-BT water exits Lake Estes and cascades through Big Thompson Canyon, reaching Loveland before being pumped to Horsetooth Reservoir via the Hansen Supply Canal. Flow here reflects active C-BT deliveries from the Adams Tunnel — a strong signal of how much C-BT water is available for NPIC exchange.
NPIC Canal Diversions (CDSS Telemetry)
NPIC primary diversion — N Fork of Cache la Poudre
39% of typical seasonal range
Updated 0.9 min ago
📌 Max diversion right: 140 CFS (WDID 0300994, priority #97)
NPIC secondary diversion — gravity feed from Poudre
60% of typical seasonal range
Updated 0.9 min ago
📌 Diverts downstream of Horsetooth; gravity-fed to NPIC system
Exchange reservoir outlet — not direct irrigation supply
48% of typical seasonal range
Updated 0.9 min ago
📌 Fossil Creek Res (16,000 AF) used for exchange only
