Background
The Lake Canal system consists of Lake Canal and the Gray Reservoirs located along
Box Elder Creek. The Lake Canal system is associated with the New Cache system
through partial ownership in Timnath Reservoir, of which they own approximately ten
percent. With the exception of the partial ownership in Timnath Reservoir, the New
Cache system and the Lake Canal system are generally separate. Irrigated areas
under the two systems do not overlap and each system has an independent delivery
system.9
The Lake Canal system is governed by two separate entities, the Lake Canal Company
and the Lake Canal Reservoir Company. The Lake Canal Company diverts direct flow
water from the Cache la Poudre River through the Lake Canal Ditch north of the Old
Town area in Fort Collins. There are 260 shares of stock in the Lake Canal Company.
The Lake Canal Reservoir Company owns storage rights decreed on Box Elder Creek
including North Gray Reservoir, South Gray Reservoir, and Gray Reservoir No. 3.
Water stored in the reservoirs is released back into Box Elder Creek and then diverted
into the Lake Canal Ditch for delivery to shareholders. The Lake Canal Reservoir
Company also owns storage rights associated with Lake Canal Reservoir No. 1, which
diverts water from the Cache la Poudre River. Maintenance and repair of the Lake
Canal structures is performed by New Cache through an operating agreement. There
are 160 shares of stock in the Lake Canal Reservoir Company.
