$16M logging protect aimed at protection Denver's urban water supply
Posted on Wednesday, September 1, 2010Denver's water agency will spend $16.5 million on logging to protect the city's water supply from potential devastating wildfires and erosion from trees killed by pine bark beetles. Denver Water and the U.S. Forest Service will split the cost of a five-year, $33 million project to cut and remove dead trees in the city's watershed. Tons of sediment have flowed into the reservoir following two wildfires in the area in the past 14 years.
