Water Board Meeting August 17, 2026

The City of Longmont Colorado Water Board held a meeting on August 17, 2026, focusing primarily on water administration, reservoir status, and an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) related to water augmentation. The board discussed a proposed short-term IGA with a local water district involving the exchange of approximately 148.8 acre-feet of Colorado-Big Thompson (CBT) water. This exchange aims to support the district's augmentation plan to maintain compliance with out-of-priority water depletions during drought conditions. The agreement, recommended by staff, is for one year or less and requires city council approval via resolution. The board voted to recommend moving forward with the agreement to city council. Additionally, the meeting included updates on water status reports, conservation efforts, and community outreach events, but no other procurement or contracting actions were noted.
