Summary[edit]

Description

The Rueter–Hess Reservoir, also known as the Rueter–Hess Dam and Reservoir, is a major water management project for the Parker Water and Sanitation District [PWSD]. PWSD provides services for most of Parker and parts of Lone Tree, Castle Pines and unincorporated Douglas County, Colorado. Originally an enterprise of Parker Colorado, PWSD is now an unaffiliated special District. It is located in an area called Newlin Gulch about three miles (5 km) southwest of Parker.

The project is intended to enable less reliance on groundwater and to help survive the lean years of drought. As of 2005, it was one of only two major water management projects in the American West. Ground was broken for the 17,000 acre feet project 2004. The entire project was expected to be completed in late 2007 at a cost of over $120 million. After initial construction was nearly complete, expansion of the project to 72,000 acre feet was approved as other water districts joined the project. Final completion was in 2012 at a total cost of around $170 million.
