The City <br />owns shares in the Arthur, New Mercer, Larimer County No. 2 Ditch, Warren Lake and the <br />Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal companies, and is sole owner in the Chaffee Ditch.

The City also <br />changed its ownership in these ditches (see Table 3) to be able to divert its share water for <br />potable uses or into storage. <br />Return Flow Location <br />The City has two wastewater treatment plants (WWTP).
