Design work is now underway for the Loop water project to help address decreasing groundwater in El Paso County

A major water project in El Paso County known as the Loop, aims to take treated and recycled water from the south end of the county and move it north via ditches and pipelines. 

The engineering design phase has started for a major water project in El Paso County known as the Loop, which aims to take treated and recycled water from the south end of the county and move it north via ditches and pipelines. 

The project was initially proposed several years ago as a way of filling increasing demand from the region’s population growth, made worse by depleting community and municipal wells in the Denver Basin. That’s the main groundwater aquifer that serves the northern part of El Paso County.
