Due to longer than normal and sustained precipitation, as well as cooler temperatures throughout 2023 and into 2024, Chatfield Reservoir has continued to be full for longer than anticipated.

The Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company (CRMC) proudly announces that it has achieved its full multi-purpose water storage capacity of 20,600 acre-feet in Chatfield Reservoir.
