<br />Subdistrict has 650 members with 966 junior wells and has operated an augmentation plan for these member since
<br />1973. On December 17, 2001, the Colorado Supreme Court issued a judgment that changed the manner of
<br />operation for substitute supply plans in Colorado. The ruling stated that the State Engineer did not have the legal
<br />authority to approve substitute supply plans. The Court also stated that substitute supply plans, such as the one
<br />operated by CCWCD would either have to file for a decree in Water Court or follow new Rules and Regulations to
<br />be issued by the State Engineer. TIris ruling has required CCWCD to acquire more senior water rights as well as
<br />build additional storage to augment out-of-priority diversions. CCWCD is in the process of acquiring additional
<br />senior water rights. To-date the District has been approved for 3-separate loans, $15,000,000, $5,000,000, and
<br />$20,000,000 just recently at the November 2004 Board, for a total loan authorization of $40,000,000.
