Julesburg Recharge Project

The district provides augmentation for 70 wells in Sedgwick County. These wells operate under The Julesburg Recharge Project (JRP) which has been in operation since 1990. The original JRP recharge facility (pictured above) was created as a recharge demonstration project. It was carried out in association with the Colorado Division of Water Resources and has proven to be a successful venture.

In 1993 the JRP was set up as a Water Activities Enterprise under LSPWCD. This created a program where participating well users pay for all costs associated with the recharge project and well augmentation while LSPWCD manages the project and provides water and financial accounting for the augmentation plan.
