The District's 2 million acre service area covers five Central Colorado high <br />mountain counties - all of Chaffee, Fremont, Custer and parts of Saguache and El Paso Counties. Figure 1 <br />depicts the five counties along with the locations where measuring devices will be installed. <br />The District has a current water demand of 1,566 acre feet with a projected demand by 2,035 of nearly 3,000 <br />acre feet. The District water supply is derived from several native water rights and storage decrees in <br />addition to transmountain water from annual allocations of the Frying Pan Project. The District also owns or <br />leases Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal Company water shares. Five of the District's six reservoirs are in <br />Chaffee County, with the sixth in Custer. <br />District water use is comprised of supplies for domestic and commercial augmentation of wells and ponds, <br />and supplies for irrigation structures. Water demand is also generated for irrigation of farm lands through <br />the District-owned water rights of the Cameron Ditch and through the State Reservoir Boss Lake storage <br />right for irrigation use on the South Arkansas River. <br />Upper Arkansas Water Conservancy District (UAWCD) Page 2 of 52
