Roads. The majority owner in Baseline is the City of Lafayette. Boulder uses its Base Line <br />ownership by exchange, i.e. the City makes releases from Base Line Reservoir in exchange for <br />increased diversions at the City's points of diversion at Barker Reservoir and Silver Lake. The <br />City has changed its Base Line Reservoir shares to municipal uses. The City's exchange rights are <br />discussed below. The City's water rights, including rights to exchange water to upper points in <br />the Boulder Creek basin are discussed below. <br />Exchange Rights <br />The City regularly makes use of several exchange water rights in its operations. Exchanges <br />decreed in Water Court Case Nos. W7582, 94CW284, and 94CW285 are summarized in Table 6. <br />The exchange rights and agreements allow the City to release water to Boulder Creek from <br />Boulder and Baseline Reservoirs, or into the Boulder and White Rock Ditch from Boulder <br />Reservoir, in exchange for increased diversions at the City's upper points of diversion. The City <br />may also operate an exchange between the Lower Boulder Ditch and the City's upper diversion <br />points. <br />The Barker Reservoir exchange right is an important component of the City's operations. In many <br />years, much of the water stored in Barker Reservoir is derived through exchanging CBT water <br />from Boulder Reservoir. Water stored in the manner in the City's upper reservoirs continues to be <br />accounted for as CBT water. <br />Table 6 <br />Exchan a Water Ri hts <br /> Appropriation Adjudication Administration Decreed <br />From- and To-Points Date Date No. Amount <br /> (ac-ft) <br />Baseline Reservoir to upper 12/31/1954 12/31/1974 38350.00000 50.000~'~ <br />stora e <br />Baseline Reservoir to upper 12/30/1993 12/31/1994 52594.00000 50.000~~~ <br />stora e <br />Baseline Reservoir to upper 719/1994 12/31/1994 52795.00000 50.000~~~ <br />stora e <br />Boulder Reservoir to upper 12/31/1954 12/31/1974 38350.00000 200.000~'~ <br />stora e <br />Lower Boulder Ditch to 12/30/1993 12/31/1994 52594.00000 5.185~~~ <br />u er stora e <br />Lower Boulder Ditch to 719/1994 12/31/1994 52795.00000 5.185~~~ <br />u er stora e <br />City WWTP Outfall (NBF <br />Ditch Return Flows) to 12/29/1994 12/31/1994 52958.00000 4.500~3~ <br />upper storage <br />Source: Colorado Water Rights Tabulation <br />Notes: <br />1.
