About the Project
The Town of Frederick completed the Lower Boulder Water change case in 2025. As a requirement of that process the Town must be able to deliver return flows to local streams and ditches to offset potential impacts of using the waters rights in an irrigation system instead of on the historic farm. The first improvement will involve extending a waterline from the existing raw water system to a concrete pipe that runs from the Fox Run neighborhood to the Godding Hollow.
