SYSTEM OVERVIEW <br />The Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (FRICO) was incorporated in the early 1900's to <br />provide irrigation water to lands north of Denver and west of the South Platte River. Major <br />sources of water in these areas were identified and the following four principal reservoirs were <br />constructed to regulate and store water for irrigation: Barr Lake, Marshall Lake, Milton Lake <br />(Reservoir), and Standley Lake. Today, FRICO is a mutual ditch company with four Divisions <br />operating around each of the major reservoirs. <br />The Community Ditch headgate delivers water from South Boulder Creek and Dowdy Hollow to <br />the FRICO-Marshall Lake Division, which stores and then delivers water to a series of smaller <br />reservoirs and to agricultural and municipal users. Key structures identified in the FRICO- <br />Marshall Lake Division system are as follows: <br />1. Community Ditch <br />2. Marshall Lake <br />- Marshall Lake Outlet Pipeline and Delivery Canal <br />PHYSICAL INFORMATION <br />The FRICO-Marshall Lake Division system is located in Water District 6 east of South Boulder <br />Creek in Boulder County, Colorado. The locations of the FRICO-Marshall Lake Division <br />features are shown in Figure 1. All of the components in the FRICO-Marshall Lake Division <br />are owned by FRICO. The system is water short and is not operated for flood control or <br />hydropower. <br />The Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company <br />80 South 27th Avenue <br />Brighton, Colorado 80601 <br />Phone: 303.659.7373 <br />FRICO_Marshall.doc 2 of 12 <br />
