Benefits of the Regional Water Supply Program

Picture
Investing in the Future: Realize P7’s founding vision of a resilient and reliable water supply for more than 50,000 people in the Uncompahgre and Gunnison Valleys.
Picture
​Dependability: Reduce the need to pump water around the valley which lowers maintenance costs and benefits the environment. 

Picture
​System Strength: Develop a new water supply and reduce the risk of supply interruptions due to wildfire or drought in the Gunnison watershed, or transmission failures in the Gunnison Tunnel.
Picture
​Direct Access: Provide direct access to member entities' existing water rights in Ridgway Reservoir, currently accessed by trades and exchanges.
