RE: 2020 Summer Water Quality Update – Upper Cache la Poudre Watershed
Bottom Line:
In the shared interest of monitoring the Upper Cache la Poudre (CLP) River drinking water
supply, the City of Fort Collins, the City of Greeley, and Soldier Canyon Water Treatment
Authority partnered in 2008 to implement the Upper CLP Collaborative Watershed Monitoring
Program. The goal of this monitoring effort is to assist the participants in meeting current and
future drinking water treatment goals by reporting current water quality conditions and trends
within the Upper CLP watershed. The attached water quality update provides a summary of
temperature, precipitation, streamflow, and water quality conditions monitored in the Upper CLP
watershed during the summer months of June, July, and August in 2020.
Background:
The seasonal water quality updates are designed to inform the Upper CLP Watershed
Collaborative Monitoring Program partners, their customers, and other community stakeholders
about the condition of our source watershed and the quality of the raw drinking water supply.
This seasonal reporting effort began in 2015 to provide a succinct and timely summary of
current-year conditions in the Upper CLP Watershed. Seasonal updates are published for the
spring, summer, and fall seasons. In depth water quality reporting is done through annual and
five-year technical reports. All water quality reports and seasonal updates are made publicly
available on the Fort Collins Utilities website,
fcgov.com /source-water-monitoring.
Summer 2020 Highlights:
Over the summer 2020 season, the Upper CLP watershed continued to be a reliable, high quality
drinking water source for the City of Fort Collins. The Upper CLP Watershed experienced
above average air temperature and below average precipitation over the summer 2020 season.
The average air temperature measured 2.8 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than average at the Joe
Wright Snow Telemetry Station near Cameron Pass and ranked as the second hottest summer on
record (41 years). Precipitation measured only 63 percent of average over the summer season
DocuSign Envelope ID: 81B45CE7-5566-45F9-8B7E-ED0A7592A5B3
and ranked as the ninth driest on record. Despite the hot and dry conditions in the Upper CLP
watershed, all water quality indicators at key monitoring sites along the Upper CLP River were
measured within the range of baseline conditions indicating normal water quality conditions on
the Poudre River during the summer 2020 season.
The Cameron Peak wildfire ignited on August 13 burning through heavy timber stands in the
Upper CLP Watershed. Water quality monitoring sites associated with the Upper CLP
Collaborative Water Quality Monitoring Program will be used to track short- and long-term
impacts from the Cameron Peak wildfire to the City of Fort Collins’ drinking water supplies. In
addition, Utilities’ Watershed Program and Water Engineering staff installed two water quality
meters in the Poudre River to measure and report real-time water quality information to Utilities’
staff and other regional water providers. These meters are strategically located upstream of the
City’s drinking water intake and provide an early warning to staff when water quality may be
impacted from post-fire runoff or other events, such as chemical spills.

The Upper Cache la Poudre (UCLP)
Watershed Collaborative Monitoring Program
was established in 2008 between the City of
Fort Collins, the City of Greeley and Soldier
Canyon Water Authority, to help meet present
and future drinking water treatment goals.
Water quality monitoring of our raw, Cache
la Poudre River drinking water supply is
conducted from April through November.
Monitoring sites are strategically located
throughout the UCLP watershed. Water quality
data provide valuable information about the
health of our source watershed and raw water
supply.
The Summer 2020 Water Quality Update
provides a seasonal summary of watershed
conditions in the Upper CLP Watershed by
highlighting meteorological, hydrologic, and
water quality conditions during the summer
season, as defined by the months of June, July,
and August.
Water quality begins to stabilize following peak
snowmelt runoff and routine monitoring is
reduced to monthly sampling. Routine water
quality monitoring results are reported for six
key monitoring sites located throughout the
Upper Cache la Poudre watershed, which
capture water quality conditions above and below
major tributaries and near water supply intake
structures (Figure 1). Present water quality
conditions are compared to baseline water quality
data, collected over the period of 2008 to 2012.

total water volume measured over the summer season (right).
STREAMFLOW CONDITIONS
Streamflow at the Cache la Poudre River near the Canyon Mouth (CLAFTCCO) stream gage measured 111,374
acre-feet over the summer season which was well below the long-term average (65%). Streamflow peaked 10
days earlier than average in 2020 and measured 150% of average. The duration of snowmelt runoff was notably
shorter in 2020 compared to average which resulted in below average streamflow conditions in all summer months.
Streamflow in the month of June measured 78% of average at 83,488 acre-feet. In the month of July streamflow
measured 21,231 acre-feet which was less than half of the average. Streamflow continued to drastically decline into
August when flows measured 34% of average at 6,655 acre-feet. The month of August ranked as the 9th lowest
streamflow on record (135 years).

The Upper Cache la Poudre Collaborative Water Quality Monitoring Program uses several key water quality
indicators, including pH, conductivity, temperature and turbidity, which act as surrogates for other parameters
(Table 3). These indicators provide a snapshot of water quality conditions and are useful for identifying trends or
changes in water quality. Significant changes in water quality indicators may provide an early warning of potential
water pollution.

WATER QUALITY INDICATORS
Table 3 – Water quality indicators measured as part of the Upper Cache la Poudre Collaborative Water Quality
Monitoring Program.
Water Quality Indicator Explanation
Temperature
Water temperature influences other water quality parameters and
is a major driver of biological activity and algal growth in rivers,
including certain phytoplankton species that produce the taste
and odor compounds, geosmin and 2-methlyisoborneol.
pH
pH is an important water quality parameter to monitor, because it
influences the solubility and biological availability of chemical
constituents, including nutrients and heavy metals. pH near 7 is
considered neutral, with more acidic conditions occurring below 7
and more basic, or alkaline, conditions occurring above 7.
Specific Conductivity
Conductivity is an index of dissolved ionic solids in water.
Conductivity is used as a general measure of water quality.
Significant increases in conductivity can be used as an indicator
of increased pollution.
Turbidity
Turbidity is monitored to track changes in water clarity. Clarity is
influenced by the presence of algae and/or suspended solids
introduced to surface waters through various land use activities,
including runoff and erosion, urban stormwater runoff and
drainage from agricultural lands. For water treatment, turbidity is
an important indicator of the amount of suspended material that is
available to harbor pollutants, such as heavy metals, bacteria,
pathogens, nutrients and organic matter.

Figure 3 – Water quality indicator data collected at key monitoring sites over the 2020 summer monitoring season
(June, July and August) compared to baseline summer water quality conditions.
Summer monitoring captures water quality conditions during the Poudre River’s highest flow levels (peak streamflow)
and when flow levels gradually decrease (the falling limb of the hydrograph) in the months following peak streamflow.
During this time of the year water quality conditions stabilize and constituents that were once diluted by high streamflow
begin to concentrate as streamflow recedes. In general, water temperature and specific conductivity increase, while
turbidity and pH levels decrease.
Over the summer months of 2020, water quality indicators at all key sites along the Poudre River were within the
baseline range of values (Figure 3). Water temperature was slightly warmer than normal at all key monitoring sites. pH
levels were near normal at all sites except on the Mainstem CLP River at the City of Greeley’s raw water intake (PBD)
where levels were slightly higher than normal. Conductivity values were below normal on Joe Wright Creek (JWC) and
above normal from the Mainstem CLP River above Joe Wright Creek (PJW) downstream to the Mainstem CLP River
below the South Fork (PSF). Conductivity values were slightly above normal at the City of Fort Collins’ and City of
Greeley’s raw water intakes (PNF and PBD). Turbidity levels were near the baseline minimum and very low at all key
monitoring locations.

TASTE AND ODOR COMPOUNDS
Geosmin and 2-Methylisoborneol (MIB) are naturally occurring organic compounds which introduce an earthy odor
to water that can be detected by the most sensitive individuals at concentrations as low as 4 nanograms per liter
(ng/L) or 4 parts per trillion (ppt). These compounds do not pose a public health risk but are of concern because
their detectable presence can negatively affect customer confidence in the quality of drinking water. Geosmin and
2-MIB are monitored at PBR and PNF during routine UCLP monitoring events.
The taste and odor compound 2-MIB was reported slightly above the reporting limit on the Mainstem CLP River
below Rustic (PBR) in July and August, but was not detected downstream on the Mainstem CLP River below Rustic
(PBR). Geosmin was not detected (<1 ng/L) at either monitoring location over the summer season (Table 4).

CAMERON PEAK WILDFIRE
The Cameron Peak wildfire ignited on August 13th near Chambers Lake in the upper elevations of CLP watershed
near Cameron Pass. As of September 8, the wildfire was only 4% contained and had burned over 100,000
acres of heavy timber stands. Several long-term water quality monitoring sites associated with UCLP Watershed
Collaborative Monitoring Program are located either within or downstream of the wildfire impacted area (Figure 4).
These sites will be used to monitor short- and long-term impacts from the Cameron Peak wildfire on the Poudre
River water supply. Water quality alert systems located at two locations on the Poudre River upstream of water
supply intakes will provide water treatment operations with real-time data and adequate warning time to quickly
respond to changes in Poudre River water quality.
