STOP NORTHERN WATER'S DAM AND PIPELINE PROJECT
STOP THORNTON'S PIPE DREAM
Our mission is to avoid pipelines through northern Fort Collins' neighborhoods.
We want to be a strong voice to influence BOTH the City of Thornton and the Northern Integrated Storage Project to do the right thing by all Fort Collins residents: LEAVE THEIR WATER IN THE POUDRE RIVER.
As neighbors, concerned citizens and members of No Pipe Dream, we made a stand against Thornton and won the day!
On Monday, Judge Stephen Jouard of the Eighth District Court in Colorado ruled against the City of Thornton’s lawsuit. While Judge Jouard felt some 1041 criteria were met, he felt other criteria were not met, so he voted down Thornton's request to pick one of two routes (County Road 56 or Douglas) Road.) With this ruling, the judge put our concerns, first!
It's been a long road for all of us who would like to see a better plan from Thornton, one that could help restore the Poudre River, protect homeowners’ private property, and maintain the nature, beauty and quiet of north Fort Collins.
Thank you! Together, we changed the course of this monster project! We'll keep you posted on future happenings.
Because Thornton may appeal this ruling, please consider a donation to both celebrate this BIG WIN and help our continuing efforts to ensure the Thornton Water Project and NISP Project reflect the viewpoints of concerned neighbors and citizens in the future.

The best letters are personal. Tell them how NISP affects you and your neighborhood.
Tell the Commissioners how this project will affect your life and enjoyment of this area, what it means for your property values, the health of the Poudre River and Natural Areas.
Remember, the City of Fort Collins voted against approving the NISP plan. Please ask the Commissioners to RECONSIDER or REVIEW the approval.
