Feasibility Study <br /> Julesburg Irrigation District <br /> Harmony #1 Weir Project <br /> Introduction (Need for Project) <br /> The Julesburg Irrigation District (District), located in Logan and Sedgwick Counties of Colorado, <br /> part owner and the operator of the Harmony#1 Canal that delivers both Direct Flow rights and <br /> Storage water rights to the Julesburg Reservoir. The Canal diverts water from the South Platte <br /> River approximately 3 % miles southwest of the town of Crook, Colorado. The Canal delivers <br /> direct flow irrigation water, storage water and augmentation water to approximately 17,000 <br /> acres of land controlled by the Harmony Ditch Company and Julesburg Irrigation District. The <br /> Canal can also be used to deliver irrigation water to an additional 6,000 acres thru the Julesburg <br /> Reservoir rights administered to the Petersen Canal as a supplemental source if supplies at the <br /> Petersen head gate are not adequate. The existing 20 foot Parshall Flume has structural <br /> damage that will cause failure. The District wishes to replace the existing structure with a new <br /> structure located just upstream, prior to the 2017 reservoir fill season beginning in November <br /> 2016. <br /> Project Sponsor <br /> The Julesburg Irrigation District was formed in 1904 and serves 19,129 bonded acres within the <br /> District and serves 110 landowners. The District has the power to set annual assessments to be <br /> paid by the landowners. The assessment is $23.50 per District acre. The District operates under <br /> the Colorado Revised Statutes Title 37 Article 41, the Irrigation District Law of 1905. <br /> Page 5 of 13 <br />
