The estimated total cost of the project is $388,095. <br />Please see the attached project summary and map. <br /> <br />Backaround <br />The OllC, located in Weld County, operates the Ogilvy Ditch and the Seeley lake for the benefit <br />of the shareholders by providing direct flow and storage of irrigation water. The Ogilvy Ditch <br />diverts from the Cache la Poudre River east of Greeley and delivers water through a 15-mile <br />ditch system to the 3,600-acre service area located northeast of Kersey. The Company also <br />stores irrigation water in Seeley lake, north of Greeley.
