This project involves the conversion of a former aggregate quarry to an off-channel reservoir near Pueblo, Colorado. The project includes the construction of an 18-inch pipeline and associated structures to carry water from the south outlet works on Pueblo Dam to the site for storage of augmentation supplies. 

Total capacity of the reservoir will be about 1,230 acre feet. Construction of the pipeline project will be completed during Summer, 2025. 

This project, completed in February of 2024, involved the replacement of corroded and failing metal culverts transporting the Excelsior Ditch under Nyberg Road in Pueblo County with twin 6 foot by 5 foot concrete box culverts. The new concrete culverts have a total capacity of 170 cubic feet per second. New concrete head and wingwalls were constructed, and new guard rail was installed. 

The project was paid for by Excelsior Irrigating Company and construction was performed by WCA Construction, LLC, of Towaoc, Colorado.
