<br />Attachment A <br /> <br />[Part A No.4] Johnson & Edwards Ditch Company water supply consists of diversions <br />from the South Platte River under priorities 5 (15 cfs meadow right) and 29 (48 cfs <br />irrigation diversion right). Diversion is made from the river in the SW/4 of Sec 24, 5N <br />55W of the 6th PM. Since reaching an agreement with the Prewitt Reservoir in 1912, the <br />Johnson & Edwards and Prewitt have had a common diversion structure and share the <br />upper reach of the Johnson & Edwards delivery system. At a point of bifurcation in the <br />NE comer of the SE/4 of Sec 18, 5N 54W, Johnson & Edwards water leaves the shared <br />canal reach. <br /> <br />The Johnson & Edwards canal proceeds through Secs 17, 16,15,10 and 3 (a1l5N 54W) <br />with it's terminus approximately on the NE/4 NE/4 Sec 10 - SE/4 SE/4 Sec 3 line. In <br />addition to serving lands in the sections through wl1ich this reach is routed, laterals from <br />both the shared reach and the exclusively Johnson & Edwards reach have delivered <br />water to farmlands in Secs 24, 13 and 18 (5N 55W) and Secs 4 and 9 (5N 54W). The <br />path of the shared and exclusive reaches of the main canal are overlaid on the aerial <br />photo below. <br /> <br />Twp~ 5N R 54V & 5N 55V of 6th PM <br /> <br /> <br />Pr~po.rlld by T 0I'l (ill 4/5/03 <br /> <br />Each of the Johnson & Edwards shareholder own~ a groundwater well as a <br />supplemental source of irrigation water.
