Pa e 12 <br />Municipal Use <br />Currently, Meadow Creek Reservoir is the only reservoir from which water is released for municipal purposes <br />and this is done so by exchange via the Michigan Ditch. The owner of the water is the City of Fort Collins. <br />The amount of water released for municipal purposes from this reservoir in the previous water year should be <br />subtracted from the spring fill storage amount for the current year. Additionally, a proportional amount as to <br />the ownership of water owned by the City of Fort Collins of the evaporation of the reservoir that occurred <br />throughout the previous year should also be subtracted. if fall storage occurs in the reservoir and water had <br />been released for municipal purposes during the current summer, the entire amount of refill should be <br />accounted toward municipal use up to the amount released for this purpose. Any amount of refill above that <br />amount released for municipal purposes should be counted toward irrigation use provided water had been <br />released for this purpose. <br />Evaporation Off of Reservoirs <br />Any reservoir for which water was not released in the previous water year yet storage occurred as a result of a <br />drop in the reservoir level from evaporation, shall be subtracted from the total water stored. <br />Total Water Stored for Irrigation Purposes <br />The total water stored for irrigation purposes shall be determined by summing the spring fill for each reservoir <br />and the fall fill each reservoir and then subtracting the total fills (spring and fall) for livestock and municipal <br />uses and evaporation. <br />
