From The Pueblo Chieftain (Chris Woodka):
“We’re running into an issue of timing and trying to keep the contracts we have [for the Arkansas Valley Conduit] on schedule,” Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District Executive Director Jim Broderick told his board Thursday…
However, actual engineering for the conduit has slowed down, as Southeastern works to complete the EIS as quickly as possible. The goal is to finish the study within two years, Broderick said.
Broderick also thanked Colorado Springs Utilities for making engineering models of river operations available for the EIS.
Meanwhile, the district is preparing agreements for consideration by each of the more than 40 participants in the conduit. Those could be ready by the end of the year, depending on whether the funding picture clears up.
