Cache la Poudre Water Quality Monitoring Agreement

The District is pleased to be a participant in the newly formed alliance with the cities of Fort Collins, Greeley, and Windsor, South Fort Collins Sanitation District, and Kodak Colorado in a cooperative effort to monitor the water quality of the Cache la Poudre River. Boxelder routinely collects and tests water samples from designated sites along the river. The results of those tests and similar sampling by the other participating entries, will be compiled by the alliance and made available to the public and research groups interested in maintaining or improving the quality of the Cache la Poudre River. These efforts received national attention and a national award was given to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment for fostering these watershed efforts. The agreement is a culmination of the efforts of the above-listed entities. You can read more on this at: http://www.epa.gov/performancetrack/benefits/2007awardees.htm.
