From The Pueblo Chieftain (Chris Woodka):
The pump-back project, called South Slope Pump Storage, has been scaled back from a 70,000 acre-foot reservoir near Brush Hollow Reservoir in Fremont County to a project that would use only 8,000 acre-feet of water between two reservoirs. Water would be pumped uphill during off-peak hours and run downhill to meet peak energy demands. The small reservoirs are not intended to provide storage for anyone. Morley said new partners are looking at the project, and he does not intend to modify it from its core purpose of generating electric power…
One of three reservoir sites at Stonewall Springs, located on the Excelsior Ditch near the Pueblo Chemical Depot, is under contract with the Woodmoor Water and Sanitation District, which intends to use it as one of several exchange points to move water to northern El Paso County from Otero County. In May, Woodmoor’s board voted to pay $5.85 million for the site to build a reservoir that could store up to 8,300 acre-feet.
