ARCA Annual Meeting 28 <br /> December 14, 1993 <br /> 1 all of the recreation facilities this year for the first time at Pueblo Reservoir. So all of the <br /> 2 recreation facilities are substantially complete and were utilized in their entirety this summer for <br /> 3 the first time. We had good elevations in the reservoir for the entire summer and we had a very <br /> 4 good recreation year. In addition to the recreation on the Arkansas for the rafters and the <br /> 5 fisherman and the regulation for the fish propagation. And short of that, Mr. Chairman, that's my <br /> 6 report. Are there any questions? <br /> 7 CHAIRMAN COOLEY: I have a bunch of them as usual, Bob, of you and <br /> 8 Tommy Thomson. An embarrassingly naive question: You speak of having crudely as I <br /> 9 added it up, some 300,000 acre feet in storage between the various reservoirs, and a rough import <br /> 10 of 70,000 acre feet crudely thru the Boustead Tunnel. The project is more recent than John <br /> 11 Martin Reservoir is it not? <br /> 41112 MR. JESSE: Yes. <br /> 13 CHAIRMAN COOLEY: And John Martin has about 60,000, we will say, acre <br /> 14 feet of water in it. Would you help me just in the broadest brush of waking me up, of how come <br /> 15 there isn't say, 300,000 acre feet in John Martin and 60,000 acre feet in Pueblo Reservoir, for <br /> 16 example? <br /> 17 MR. JESSE: The Fry-Ark Project, the project waters themselves, and I don't have <br /> 18 a update of accounting, but I will take a shot at it. About a hundred thousand of these feet belong <br /> 19 to the Fry-Ark Project, the 70,000 I spoke of before that were moving from the upper to the <br /> 20 lower reservoir, is project water. The remaining water is imports and in some cases native <br /> 21 waters of other entities. The municipalities of Colorado Springs, the Pueblo Board of Water <br /> 22 Works, the City of Aurora, the Twin Lakes Company—the Twin Lakes Canal Company which <br /> 1123 have water stored in Twin Lakes, and the Busk-Ivanhoe system, the Homestake system. The <br /> 24 Homestake system is owned by both Colorado Springs and Aurora. <br />
