Fitz - Gerald Amendment - opposition <br /> • Vail & Breckenridge have filed on nearly all the water <br /> in both the Blue River & Gore Creek. <br /> • The Water Court has not set these filings for any <br /> action. <br /> • Golden took over a year just to reach trial. These two <br /> towns will take at least as long. Why give these <br /> applications special treatment? <br /> • Grandfathering these two towns would place a <br /> financial burden on the State. This bill would provide <br /> the opportunity to work out the differences prior to <br /> litigation. <br /> • No water rights could be developed upstream of these <br /> filings, essentially creating a gatekeeper controlling <br /> development of any future water. <br /> • Neither town is at risk of loosing its priority date. <br />
