<br />Final decision on contracts. <br />How many years will it take to get past the planning stage? How interested are <br />municipalities in these contracts? <br />Would like to know all details. <br />"Who is behind this hair brained (DIA) type thinking?" <br />How will it be determined that shortage exists? How will water owners be <br />protected from cities who don't buy enough water for normal years? <br />Why is this being proposed and can it be implemented without vote by <br />shareholders? <br />Hasn't read up and doesn't feel informed about these contracts. <br />'That you have shelved the whole idea." <br />"Someone should admit that it was a bad idea." <br />"A lot more than I know". <br /> <br />16. Please give us any other comments you have. <br /> <br />Municipal users need to conserve (e.g., not watering grass, water-saving <br />appliances); consider cap on amount each person can use for domestic purposes. <br />He's very dependent on District water, especially in dry years; in very dry years, <br />most of his water is rented District water. If lessors transfer water to cities under <br />interruptible supply agreements instead of making it available to him, he's out of business <br />whether he signs an interruptible contract or not. Doesn't own enough units of District <br />water "for an interruptible supply contract to save me from a year with little or no <br />water." "Major concern." <br />"Even temporary losses of water control to the voting public would cause <br />problems." <br />Interruptible supply contracts are just a way for developers to build more houses <br />and increase Front Range population "to help destroy the quality of life we once had." <br />If farmers can get over being too cautious and conservative, and not be too <br />greedy, could do a lot of good working together with the cities. <br />Had impression this would be annual; why not let municipalities rent water on <br />annual basis at going price, like everyone else? <br />If program is implemented, be ready for lawsuits from farmers left high and dry. <br />Please don't implement this program. <br />Let municipalities figure out how to get own water, and pay for it, without <br />reducing water table or taking it away from farmers. <br />"Let the municipalities handle their own problems." <br /> <br />Domestic users -- 11 responses received <br /> <br />3.
