Chimney Hollow Reservoir Fills, Uranium Tests Underway

Northern Water initiates Chimney Hollow reservoir filling, releasing 1,500 acre-feet of Western Slope water. The reservoir, near Loveland, can hold 90,000 acre-feet, but initial pour is for testing safety gear and infrastructure. Uranium leaching from rocks delayed full startup. Tests ongoing to study dilution, groundwater baselines, and fluctuations due to radioactive mineral pockets. No word on when partners can draw from it.
