What is the Flaming Gorge Pipeline?
• A 560-mile water pipeline diverting 81 billion gallons a year from the West Slope to the Front Range. The project would deplete the Green River, the Colorado River’s largest tributary, removing up to 25% of its flow.
• The Colorado Water Conservation Board estimates the pipeline would cost $7 to $9 billion.
• Construction is dependent on Taxpayer Subsidies.
Why Oppose?
• Flaming Gorge water will cost up to 10 times more than any other water in Colorado.
• Flaming Gorge water will be the most expensive water in the history of Colorado.
• Taxpayer subsidies may be over $370 million dollars PER YEAR!
• Taxpayer subsidies could divert money from schools, roads, and more practical water storage projects.
• Could trigger a call of the river – a doomsday scenario that threatens all water users.
