DENVER Denver and Boulder are in a water fight that s going to court.
Denver Water is suing Boulder County, accusing the county of trying to meddle in a planned expansion of the Gross Reservoir that sits southwest of Boulder.
After nearly two decades of planning, federal regulators gave Denver Water final approval last year for the project that will raise Gross Dam by 131 feet, tripling the size of the reservoir.
