<br />" <br /> <br />The Company has now completed those two projects and is requesting funding for three <br />more projects to be undertaken this year. Table I summarizes the status of the projects <br />that were described in the 1995 feasibility study. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Table 1.

The Company has 1,000 shares of stock <br />outstanding with about 350 shareholders. <br /> <br />The Company owns six storage reservoirs and over 25 miles of water supply canal as <br />shown on the attached map. These facilities supply an average of about 30,000 acre-feet <br />of water per year for irrigation of approximately 55,000 acres in northeast Colorado. <br />Many components of the system have been in use for almost 100 years and are in need of <br />rehabilitation. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />All water for the system is diverted from the Cache la Poudre River through the Poudre <br />Valley Canal under a portfolio of relatively senior water rights. The Poudre Valley Canal <br />is a supply canal and is used to fill all six of the Company's reservoirs. <br /> <br />Pro Dosed Proiect <br /> <br />The Company is proposing the replacement of the outlet structures on three of their . <br />reservoirs: Annex No.8, Elder Reservoir and Windsor Reservoir No.8 based on the <br />results of an inspection of all three late last year. All three outlet conduits are constructed <br />of wood stave pipe that is badly in need of replacement. Because of the condition of the <br />pipe at Elder Reservoir, a sinkhole developed in the dam. For these reasons, the WRCC <br />believes that these projects need to be undertaken as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Smith Geotechnical has estimated the construction costs for all three projects as <br />summarized in Table 2. Total project costs with engineering and contingencies are shown <br />in Table 3. These cost estimates are about 46 percent higher than the estimates in the <br />1995 feasibility study based on recent bids received by the engineer and some additional <br />work required for Annex No.8. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2 <br />
