Sometime in the middle of next year, if Northern Water gets its way, the bulldozers will start piling earth and rock 25 stories high to plug this dry basin southwest of Loveland forever.
Four miles to the south, they’ll build another dam to keep their newly-made bathtub from leaking out the back toward Lyons. Drill crews will bore a massive pipeline through the hogback making up the east edge of the bathtub, in order to feed Carter Lake a few hundred yards to the east.
They’ll move a power line. Help build a surrounding open space park. Upgrade a sewage plant in Fraser. Four years later, they’ll close dam gates reinforced to hold back 29 billion gallons of life-giving water.
A powerful storm that became a blizzard dropped several inches of snow across the Colorado Springs area, the Front Range and the state on Saturday into Sunday.

Investigators say a man is being checked out at a hospital and will be taken into custody on a number of charges after leading law enforcement on a pursuit early Thursday morning in a stolen Omaha Police cruiser.
Police say officers were questioning the man near 10th and Abbott Drive, when he got naked, started damaging other vehicles, jumped into the cruiser and drove off.
The chase, reaching speeds of 70 MPH, wound from Carter Lake into North Downtown, west on Cuming Street before the stop sticks were used to disable the cruiser in north central Omaha, 60th and Lake Streets.
