The NCWA is a Colorado non-profit corporation created to provide potable water service for domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, stock watering, and other purposes.  Water users include rural domestic users with livestock, urban domestic users, feedlot operations, and industrial users.  Founded in 1964, NCWA currently delivers water to approximately 1,518 taps in northern Larimer County.  

The NCWA Transmission, Distribution and Storage (TD&S) system is fed from three sources of supply:

1) the Spring Creek Alluvium

2) East Larimer County Water District (“ELCO”)

3) North Weld County Water District (“NWCWD”)

Interconnected by these three distinct feeds, the TD&S system is unique. 

In 2020, NCWA added an additional water storage tank at the ELCO connection.  This was done to improve operations and to provide redundancy so that operations could take the existing tank offline for service while continuing to provide uninterrupted service.  In 2020/2021 NCWA is also building the Northwest Transmission Main project – an additional feed from the Spring Creek alluvium connecting to the northwest corner of the existing TD&S system.  This pipeline will also improve operations and provide much needed redundancy between the Spring Creek well field and the TD&S system. NCWA is also constructing a new well to improve system redundancy.
