Abstract
The Halligan Dam is on the North Branch of the Cache La Poudre River, about 12 miles above the Town of Livermore, 35 miles northwest of Ft. Collins, Colo., and 16 miles from the nearest railroad siding. It impounds the water of that stream in a reservoir having a capacity of 6 408 acre-ft., being one of sixteen which, with their connecting canals, form the Irrigation System owned by the North Poudre Irrigation Company, of Ft. Collins. This is a stock company capitalized for $400 000, practically all the stock being held by the owners of the land on which the water is used. Before the writer was retained as Consulting Engineer, plans had been prepared for an arched cyclopean masonry dam, with a gravity section, to store water to a depth of 55.5 ft. above the outlet tube, and a contract had been let for its construction at cost plus 20 percent. Work was commenced, but, after building to a point slightly above the lower outlet tube, the available funds were exhausted and the work was temporarily abandoned. The foundations remained in this condition for about 18 months, and then the work was resumed under the writer.
