Loveland Water Transfer Sparks Calls for Transparency, Recreation Access

Sweetwater Authority’s recent transfer of water out of Loveland Reservoir has reignited debate over whether water rates or public recreation should take priority.

After local residents complained about being caught off-guard by the transfer, the authority’s board of directors last week called for increased transparency and for residents both down and upstream of the reservoir to be notified of upcoming transfers by the water agency’s administrators.
