Colorado Springs Utilities has started a Wildfire Ready Action Plan (WRAP) for two areas in their local collection system just west of Colorado Springs. The North Slope project area includes three major reservoirs on the north slopes of Pikes Peak - North Catamount, South Catamount and Crystal Reservoirs. These reservoirs accumulate local runoff but also hold water diverted from the west slope and transferred through the Blue River pipeline. The Northfield project area includes one major reservoir - Rampart Reservoir which also holds west slope water delivered through the Homestake Pipeline. These reservoirs are critical to supplying municipal water to the city.

The analyses in the Wildfire Ready Action Plan focus on the impacts stemming from wildfire risk and potential post-fire hazards, and examines the long-term risk that is posed by changes in climate for the entire project area.
