The statement that “The City of Thornton is beginning to build a pipeline” is incorrect. First, the Thornton Northern Project has state Water Court approval for a 3-phase, 3-pipeline project. The second and most obvious fact is that the City of Thornton cannot “build” anything, unless the proposal (called a 1041 application) gets the approval of the Larimer County Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners, who are not required to allow the project, if the impacts are detrimental to the residents of Larimer County. Hopefully the NFN will cover the 5/16 and 7/9 hearings, so your readers will understand the high level of opposition to the destructive plan for delivering water to Thornton bluegrass.
