Thornton,Water Pipe,Larimer County

Thornton is facing resistance in its latest application for a water pipe permit with Larimer County. Opponents argue that the project could negatively impact landowners and do nothing to improve the health of the Poudre River.

As Thornton filed its latest application for a water pipe permit with Larimer County on Monday, officials had hope that they would face less resistance this time. But forces that have lined up against the city in recent years have no intention of dropping their fight against a 42-inch-wide pipe that would run across the county — arguing the project holds the potential to negatively impact landowners while doing nothing to improve the health of the Poudre.

They want Thornton to leave its water in the Poudre, allowing it to flow through Fort Collins before it’s taken out
