<br />n0161l <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Taylor Park Reservoir, through a cooperative agreement with the Uncompahgre <br /> <br />Valley Water Users Association. Water released fram Taylor Park Reservoir <br /> <br />and stored in Blue Mesa will supply part of the Uncompahgre Valley irriga- <br /> <br />tion demand in <br />during1January <br /> <br />the summer of 1966.
