Chimney Hollow Reservoir construction crews wrapped up the 2023 construction season with about 55 percent of the project completed, and remain within about a month of their originally targeted completion deadline of late summer of 2025. In this video, Northern Water and Barnard Construction managers highlight how the main dam has reached 160 feet tall (of its ultimate height of 350 feet) and provide updates on several other elements of the project.

I truly enjoy these video updates that you guys put out for the public to see. I was born in Loveland Colorado in 1965 and raised in the mountains at The Moffat Tunnel East Portal. Was my first construction job at 18yrs old doing the Reventalation for tunnel. Did construction from then on until I was unable to due to my knees and other body parts telling me to back off lol. Sure do wish I was able to take part in this project. I can drive haul trucks and operate many types of equipment. Any how great job u all do. Can not wait to see finished project.

Thanks to the pollution of hydrocarbon fuels, causing climate change and the subsequent water shortages, we need to use more hydrocarbon fuels to ensure that there's enough water to drink and of course, so that people can water their lawns to impress their neighbours, cos hey, that's what's important right?

@@eva905 It's an additional reservoir to expand the storage capacity collected in the Windy River Reservoir so less water continues down the Colorado River. That normally wouldn't be an issue, but the Colorado River System is in dire straits due to too much water being siphoned off already. Yes, this project makes the Colorado River's water problem worse and yes it negatively impacts fish populations considering the Colorado River often fails to make it to the ocean and removing even more water from the system exacerbates this issue.
