The purpose of the Boulder Canyon Hydro Project was to convert the idle waters of Middle Boulder Creek, which fell 2,700 feet between Nederland and Boulder, into hydroelectric power. In 1906, the Eastern Colorado Power Company began work on the major components of the project: Barker Dam and Reservoir, Kossler Dam and Forebay, a 11.7 mile gravity line and a steel penstock. The depression of 1907 forced the Eastern Colorado Power Company into bankruptcy.

In 1908, the Central Colorado Power Company took over this project. Construction proceeded uninterrupted, and the entire Boulder Canyon Hydro Project, which included a hydroelectric plant, was completed in 1910.
