About 75% of the water that Colorado Springs uses is from mountain springs in the areas of Aspen, Leadville, and Breckenridge-Colorado. Protective pipes transfer this water down from the mountains to be stored in local reservoirs like Rampart Reservoir and Catamount Reservoir.
Rampart Reservoir is a 500 surface acre lake located between the United States Air Force Academy and Woodland Park-nestled in the middle eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. Catamount Reservoir is a 210 surface acre lake on the North Slope of Pikes Peak.
