Final Draft ALP Marketing Supply and Demand Study

A -LP Water Animas -La Plata Water Marketing Supply and Demand Study
Cooperative Program with Ute Tribes and Marketing Program
Section 6
CWCB and the Ute Tribes' have initiated a cooperative program to explore options for increasing
utilization of A -LP Project water allocated to the Ute Tribes and other water interests in Colorado. The
Tribes would like this program to be initiated within the next few months and anticipate the
announcement of the joint process at the November 2010 CWCB meeting. The Tribes, the State, and
local water users, are interested in seeing that A -LP Project Water is used in Colorado to the fullest
extent possible and are seeking ways to accomplish this objective. The process envisioned by the State
and the Tribes will extend beyond the time frame of the investigation reported on in this report.
CWCB will also work on developing a marketing program to increase municipal use of the State's A -LP
water. One component of this proposed program would provide assistance for diverting, pumping,
treating and conveying/distributing the State's A -LP Water. A web page and a marketing brochure would
be developed by the State to further assist water providers to use the State's A -LP water supply.
