Rm, 721 <br />Denve., CO 80203 <br /> <br />To Whom it May Concern: <br /> <br />The hoard of directors of the Redmesa Ward Reservoir and Ditch <br />Company (Company) met on August 27, 1999 to discuss the draft <br />feasibility study for the Redmesa Reservoir rehabilitation and <br />enlargement project by Harri$ water Engineering. It was the <br />decision of the board that we are not prepared at this time to <br />make a decision with regard to the feasibility of the project for <br />the following reasons: <br /> <br />tit <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />There are some complex unresolved water rights issues <br />regarding usage out of the La Plata river during the <br />non irrigation season. We will be working on these <br />issues in the coming months. <br /> <br />2. In light of the recent changes in the Animas/La Plata <br />water project (total elimination of irrigation water) <br />there is currently a study being conducted by Wright <br />Water Engineering to look at the entire area that would <br />have been served by Animas/La Plata and recommend <br />alternatives for irrigation and domestic water. Our <br />project is being considered as part of the solution to <br />help solve the water shortages in our area. <br /> <br />We are requesting that the Colorado Water conservation Board <br />forgive the loan under the contract dated January 24, 1995 <br />between the company and the CWCB. All ~ork to date on the study <br />will be compiled by Harris Water Engineering in the form of a <br />pro;ect status report, which will be submitted to the Company and <br />the CWCB. The Company will be willing to pay any costs <br />associated with the completion of the status report. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Thank You, <br /> <br />,~.J:-l(Jo.JtAJ] <br /> <br />Trent J, TaylJ . <br />Vice President <br />Redmesa Ward Reservoir <br />and 'Ditch Company <br />
