The LWIC service area extends <br />from the Cache la Poudre diversion north of Fort Collins east to near the town of Galeton, <br />encompassing approximately 86.000 acres, 55,000 acres of which are irrigated farm land. The <br />Company has direct flow rights from their diversion in the Cache la'Poudre River. and is also a <br />carrier ditch for reservoir water owned by their stockholders and stockholders in several other ditch <br />and reservoir companies, as well as CBT water owned by stockholders. Total water delivered <br />through the Larimer & Weld system averages approximately 90,000 acre-feet per year. The LWIC <br />is applying for a $1,500,000 loan to rehabilitate several structures on the Larimer & Weld Ditch <br />(Eaton Ditch), including replacing one equalizer check structure (Lake Lee Dam), replacing the Big <br />Windsor ReseNoir check. and inlet structure, and replacing one check structure (Finley), located . <br />downstream of the existing structure. The Lake Lee Dam and the Big Windsor InJet are concrete <br />".) <br />control and conveyance structures that are in disrepair and have reached obsolescence. With the ~ <br />failure of these two structures, LWIC would have a difficult time operating the ditch and would lose <br />water that Is nonnally stored in the reservoir. The Finley check structure has no means to apply <br />stop logs or other measures. to temporarily check the ditch and is undennined at the base slab and <br />side walls. ,. <br /> <br /> <br />"""""'a.J <br />Mo~~ <br /> <br />Location Map <br /> <br />,. <br />I <br />
