A 300-Year Water Supply Requirement: One County's Approach
El Paso County, Colorado, has adopted and the courts have upheld a land use regulation that requires a 300-year water supply for new subdivisions. This stringent policy was developed in response to unprecedented growth pressures, limited or difficult-to-acquire surface and ground water supplies, the absence of a credible water authority for the provision of urban water, and state law that permits depletion of ground water within 100 years. The regulations are an attempt to equate the availabilities of nonrenewable and renewable water supplies, and to balance the competing needs for economic development with the desire to avoid an expensive water bailout by future generations.
