C-BT Reservoir Storage (USBR HydroMet)

47% full  ·  444,276 / 954,473 AF
Horsetooth Reservoir Live

C-BT east-side terminal reservoir — Fort Collins municipal supply

77.4% full 114,543 / 148,070 AF

Updated 3.0 min ago — obs. 11/14/2026 18:15

📌 NPIC holds senior storage right here; key C-BT delivery point

Carter Lake Live

C-BT east-side reservoir — Longmont / Berthoud area supply

48.8% full 54,674 / 112,000 AF

Updated 2.9 min ago — obs. 11/14/2026 18:15

📌 C-BT reservoir; 2026 quota 50% = ~56,000 AF allocation

Granby Reservoir Live

C-BT west-side collection — largest C-BT storage

47.9% full 258,283 / 539,758 AF

Updated 2.9 min ago — obs. 11/14/2026 18:15

📌 West-slope collection; pumped through Adams Tunnel to east slope

Green Mountain Reservoir Live

Blue River C-BT west-side storage — currently low (2026 drought)

10.8% full 16,776 / 154,645 AF

Updated 2.9 min ago — obs. 11/14/2026 18:15

📌 Low fill % this year is a key driver of the 50% C-BT quota

Stream Gauges — Cache la Poudre / N Fork (USGS)

Cache la Poudre at Fort Collins Live

Main stem — NPIC primary diversion reference

26.6 CFS
Low 20 CFS High 1500 CFS

0% of typical seasonal range

Updated 3.0 min ago

📌 NPIC diverts from N Fork above this gauge; rights priority #97

N Fork above Halligan Reservoir Live

Inflow to Halligan — shows available storage fill

8.7 CFS
Low 5 CFS High 800 CFS

0% of typical seasonal range

Updated 3.0 min ago

📌 Flow above Halligan feeds NPIC reservoir storage

N Fork below Halligan Reservoir Live

Outflow from Halligan — 0 CFS means reservoir holding all inflow

0.0 CFS
Low 0 CFS High 600 CFS

0% of typical seasonal range

Updated 3.0 min ago

📌 Near-zero values indicate Halligan is filling or holding water

N Fork at Livermore Live

Upper watershed — early indicator of runoff conditions

0.5 CFS
Low 2 CFS High 400 CFS

Below typical seasonal low

Updated 3.0 min ago

📌 Upstream of Halligan; reflects snowmelt runoff from upper N Fork

Joe Wright Creek below Joe Wright Reservoir Live

Upper Poudre canyon — outflow from Fort Collins's Joe Wright Reservoir

1.8 CFS
Low 1 CFS High 150 CFS

1% of typical seasonal range

Updated 3.0 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.

Cache la Poudre above Boxelder Live

Lower Poudre near Timnath — downstream of NPIC diversions

6.8 CFS
Low 1 CFS High 500 CFS

1% of typical seasonal range

Updated 3.0 min ago

📌 Downstream reference: lower flow here relative to Fort Collins gauge indicates active upstream diversions

Big Thompson River at Loveland Live

C-BT delivery corridor — Lake Estes outflow en route to Horsetooth

25.8 CFS
Low 10 CFS High 1500 CFS

1% of typical seasonal range

Updated 3.0 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)

North Poudre Canal Live

NPIC primary diversion — N Fork of Cache la Poudre

0.0 CFS
Low 0 CFS High 140 CFS

0% of typical seasonal range

Updated 2.8 min ago

📌 Max diversion right: 140 CFS (WDID 0300994, priority #97)

Munroe Canal Live

NPIC secondary diversion — gravity feed from Poudre

0.0 CFS
Low 0 CFS High 150 CFS

0% of typical seasonal range

Updated 2.8 min ago

📌 Diverts downstream of Horsetooth; gravity-fed to NPIC system

Fossil Creek Outlet Live

Exchange reservoir outlet — not direct irrigation supply

41.3 CFS
Low 0 CFS High 50 CFS

83% of typical seasonal range

Updated 2.8 min ago

📌 Fossil Creek Res (16,000 AF) used for exchange only
