Water Rights

The JEDC has rights to divert a total of 63 cfs from the South
Platte River (15 cfs under priority 5 dated 1872, and 48 cfs
under priority 29 dated 1886.) The Company diverts approximately
6,000 acre-feet of water per year through their ditch.

The 7 shareholders of the JEDC also have decrees on 12 wells used
for irrigating the 3,000 acres under their system. These wells
have been augmented through GASP in prior years. The JEDC diverts
on average approximately 2,900 acre-feet of water per year
through these 12 wells. Total average annual diversions for the
JEDC shareholders are 8,900 acre-feet.

The JEDC is applying for a 63 cfs augmentation water right for
this project under which they would divert approximately 2,000
acre-feet per year. This would be used to cover the depletions of
the 12 junior wells, as well as provide additional water to
augment other wells outside the Johnson and Edwards system.
