Flatiron Reservoir

Early morning at Flatiron Reservoir
Flatiron Reservoir is a central distribution point for Colorado-Big Thompson Project water and serves as an afterbay for the Flatiron Power Plant. The reservoir, constructed between 1951 and 1953, is located southwest of Loveland.  
From Flatiron's north end, C-BT water can be directed to the Big Thompson River and Horsetooth Reservoir, via the Hansen Feeder Canal From Horsetooth Reservoir deliveries are made to the Poudre River.
Or, water can be pumped 300 feet through the Carter Lake Pressure Tunnel and south to Carter Lake. From there, deliveries are made to the Little Thompson River, St. Vrain Creek, Boulder Creek, South Platte River and Southern Water Supply Pipeline.
