The County: Adams <br /> ditch diverts from the South Platte River, west of the City Water Source: South Platte River <br /> of Brighton, and delivers water to approximately 1,840 Drainage Basin: South Platte <br /> acres in Adams and Weld County. Irrigated acreage within Division: 1 District: 2 <br /> the service area is primarily used for crop production for <br /> sale in local markets with some hay production for cattle <br /> feed or sale. Water at the end of the ditch is measured by an augmentation station used by four <br /> shareholders: Central Colorado Water Conservancy District, South Adams County Water Et Sanitation <br /> District, the City of Aurora, and the City of Westminster. <br /> In May and June of 2015, the South Platte River experienced extended high flows. This resulted in a <br /> breach of the river between the Company's diversion structure and the upstream Ken Mitchell Ponds <br /> headgate owned by the City of Brighton. Approximately 120 feet of the east bank was washed out, <br /> directing the river away from the Company's diversion. The City of Brighton owns the property where <br /> the breach is located and the City of Aurora owns the Prairie Water Pipeline which was exposed by this <br /> breach. Neither the City of Brighton nor Aurora planned any immediate repairs to the breach. In order <br /> to restore flows to its headgate, the Company constructed a cofferdam on the east bank of the river to <br /> close this breach in July 2015. <br /> t C Brighton D <br /> iftnyr�n r <br /> ., E-470 <br /> ulx ru <br /> linectittr <br /> " __.� Broomfield <br /> ® Project Site <br /> T ;•rnton, Denver Inter-,a'v'.rI <br /> Cnldrn C',t, a ';, Airport ' <br /> r,p}uv<5rr r,°rr�trfrk Westrmnste, <br /> Arvad «y r CC # Not onatt <br /> Getri n czil tV. ,.tl <br /> Denver fiTs Wattto, <br /> Headga e D • - • D.
