The subject leased shares are a significant part of that <br /> supply and are included in the decreed augmentation plan. <br /> It is the intent of the LPAC to allow the well owners to utilize their irrigation wells to <br /> their maximum potential. As stated, a well pumping quota is in place at this time <br /> which limits the well pumping.

Having ownership of the project shares provides additional security <br /> to the system. <br /> LPAC Water Rights Portfolio <br /> Water rights owned by the LPAC are: <br /> Harmony 25 Reservoir Right.
