Conservation <br />District <br />Contacts <br />Remarks <br />District <br />970 - 487 -3306 <br />Conejos Water <br />Bob Robins <br />We are in the process of developing a Water Conservation Plan for <br />Conservancy District <br />719 - 843 -5261 <br />the Bureau of Reclamation due to be completed in March 2000. In <br />Platoro Reservoir they allocate 50% of water in storage and 50% is <br />carried over to next year. This has been the policy for 10 years. In <br />1998, three ditches used 1999 water and didn't get a drop in 1999. <br />Costilla County <br />Bob Green <br />We have been farming here for 150 years using ditches, and <br />Conservancy District <br />719- 672 -3213 <br />drought is not a problem. The issues are gold mining and logging <br />creating pollution. <br />Crawford Water <br />John Cunningham <br />We will be creating water supply plan this year. <br />Conservancy District <br />970 -921 -3266 <br />Dolores Water <br />John Porter <br />We need to call them to see what plans we want. <br />Conservancy District <br />970- 565 =7562 <br />Florida Water <br />John Ey <br />Our Water Conservation Plan is ten years old, and it was done by <br />Conservancy District <br />970 - 247 -5332 <br />John Ey. He has managed the dam for 23 years. In fall 1999 he had <br />the intuition to not dump water after summer and keep the reservoir <br />full. This proved to be the right decision. The dam was built in <br />1963. Water levels got low in 1997 and 1977. 1977 was the <br />lowest. Every year we issue 70% of total supply. There is no <br />leeway to put storage aside and keep the reservoir full. We have <br />priority of cities over agriculture but haven't needed to do so. Snow <br />pack ws 12% of average on 1/15 /2000. After 1977 drought, Chuck <br />Lile got board and ditch companies together to put water to most <br />beneficial use. In drought years we give them options to store <br />adjudicated water in the reservoir for a surcharge. This helps others <br />and keeps water around, as opposed to the attitude "I must use <br />every drop I am entitled to." <br />Fruitland Mesa Water <br />Bill Mugford <br />Has a gripe with the CWCB. It seems CWCB is concerned with <br />Conservancy District <br />Secretary Treasurer <br />domestic water rather than agricultural water issues. Have been <br />970 - 921 - 7221 <br />tr in to et water project but is harder now the BOR is involved. <br />Grand Mesa Water <br />Charles Richards <br />The district wants a copy of our findings. They have not done <br />Conservancy District <br />Secretary Treasurer <br />planning but have done reservoir rehabilitation. CWCB gave <br />970 - 856 -6557 <br />money years ago to do a study. Lots of hoops to go through when <br />working through Corp of Engineers and USFS. <br />Great Northern Water <br />Rod Peck <br />No activity as far as someone running the district. They have been <br />Conservancy District <br />Attorney <br />inactive for 10 years. <br />970 -824 -6561 <br />Huerfano County <br />Ray Harriman <br />We have done hydrological study as part of our water resource <br />Water Conservancy <br />President <br />manual done by Ted Zurich. We have not done drought planning. <br />District <br />719- 738 -3429 <br />The Tabor Amendment leaves no budget money for such planning. <br />We are monitoring stream flows. We are constructing one west of <br />Walsenburg. <br />Jackson County Water <br />970 - 723 -4660 <br />None <br />Conservancy District <br />Juniper Water <br />Tom Trevenen <br />We are a defunct board. Contact Daryle Steele for planning work. <br />Conservancy District <br />Secretary Treasurer <br />It was agreed some time ago that there would be no reservoirs on <br />970 - 824 -5311 <br />the Yampa. We have enough water for current irrigation needs. <br />La Plata Water <br />Clara Mae Schmitt <br />Our Water Conservation Plan is part of Animas La Plata "Lite." <br />
