Talk:Rueter–Hess Reservoir

Origin of the name?
This reader was hoping to find out who the reservoir is named for. Some local residents named Reuter and Hess, perhaps? 75.163.200.90 (talk) 21:24, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Me too. But the only name connections I can find in Colorado is Hess Rd.  Probably a local dignitary or early landowner.  Probably Rueter was another; possibly C. August Rueter or a relative in or near Parker, CO.  This page mentions "Rosie Rueter, whose family owned 1,120 acres four miles west of Parker", which is about where the reservoir is, so I assume that's them.   Given that these are two names of somebody, I connected them with an en dash, as is customary per MOS:DASH.
 * There's also a Hess-Rueter Management Company, LLC, in Littleton, CO. Probably some members of Parker families got married or into business together.   This map shows a "Hess-Rueter Land LP" off Crowfoot Valley Rd., which is near the reservoir.  Dicklyon (talk) 00:43, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I just added a section explaining the naming. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pku12 (talk • contribs) 00:31, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Fix Reference
Referenced article no longer works. Also, it would be nice to add EIS information on expected water seepage and evaporation. GreatZar — Preceding undated comment added 05:50, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
