Editors note: Know Your City explores different departments within local governments in metro Denver. Jordan Worrell reported to work on a Monday morning in June only to get a call from Colorado Parks and Wildlife. A herd of buffalo had wandered into the park surrounding Spinney Mountain Reservoir, a 53,651 acre-foot dam tucked inside Park County about an hour-and-a-half west of Colorado Springs. Someone had to corral them. But rather than state park rangers, the task fell to none other than employees of Aurora Water.
