Welcome to Left Hand Water Tree Removal in Niwot The Left Hand Water District built a 2 million gallon water tank in 1969 at the top of Gunbarrel Ridge in Niwot. Over the years several subdivisions have developed on the hill below the tank, including the Somerset subdivision. The District allowed trees to be planted on District property by the developer of the Somerset subdivision to partially screen the tank, and we have worked with the Somerset HOA for many years to allow them to maintain the trees. Last year, an inspection by an engineering firm that specializes in water tank safety and design, revealed some very serious damage to the tank, caused by the load of the berm surrounding one side of the tank, on which the trees had been planted. Because the damage, if left unrepaired, could cause catastrophic failure of the tank, the District had no choice but to begin the process of planning the tank repair and berm removal, as well as a plan to replace the trees as a distance farther away from the tank to avoid further damage.
