<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.\ <br /> <br />I' <br /> <br />To further inform property owners, representatives from the Board, the City of Needles, and <br />Reclamation participated in information meetings held in the cities of Blythe, Needles, and <br />Winterhaven. A total of 170 people were in attendance at the three meetings. At the September 25th <br />meeting in Blythe, 60 people were in attendance; 100 people attended the September 26th meeting in <br />Needles; and 10 people were in attendance at the Winterhaven meeting, on Thursday, September 27, <br />2001. <br /> <br />At each meeting, a brief overview of the Law of the River was presented and the circumstances <br />that caused the creation of the Lower Colorado Water Supply Project. I can generally say that the <br />audiences were courteous but had many questions. Many people wanted to know why they had to start <br />paying for water from their own well. However, a vast majority recognized that Colorado River water <br />is a I imited resource and this might be the only opportunity for them to obtain a legal entitlement to <br />Colorado River water and attach it to their property. <br /> <br />As of Friday , October 5'", 66 applications have been received in various stages of completeness. <br />Generally, the applicants are requesting water in the range of 1-5 acre-feet. <br /> <br />~:g-_J>'J~__-- <br /> <br />c- O...,,,ld R.
