Currently, our water withdrawals from the tailrace during a <br />call on the Colorado River is limited to the amount of demands on <br />our system. This means that, if the power plant is running at 30 <br />cfs and we have a demand of l5 cfs, the excess l5 cfs has to bypass <br />Ute's pipeline. The BuRec thinks this M & I right might allow us to <br />take some of that water. Mr. Stockton is not convinced of this. <br /> <br />The Manager noted that the option of privatizing is no longer <br />available to the BuRec. He feels they have been directed to obtain <br />as many water rights as possible from local irrigators. We do have <br />an interest in M & I water if they can deliver it, since this would <br />stop the need for Ute to purchase ranches for water or water rights <br />for some time. <br /> <br />Counsel said that, as he understands it, it is a refill right <br />from Vega. <br /> <br />The Superintendent of Treatment & Source pointed out that the <br />BuRec can deliver 50 cfs through the tailrace, however, the District <br />is not physically able to take a full 50 cfs, at this time. <br /> <br />Both Counsel and the Manager recommended at least pursuing this <br />opportunity. <br /> <br />The consensus was to send the BuRec a letter indicating the <br />District's interest in M & I water, if it is available. <br /> <br />UPCOMING MEETINGS <br /> <br />Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce: Business After Hours will be <br />held November 30, 1993, at the Daily Sentinel.

The <br />Manager reported this tank is now in use. He went on to explain <br />that the Redlands Tank and the Orchard Mesa tank are down, by <br />design. The Treatment Plant and Distribution are experimenting with <br />the tanks to determine the proper operation for good circulation. <br /> <br />1993 AUDIT <br /> <br />The Manager reminded the Board of the direction given Staff at <br />the October meeting to bid the 1993 Audit. He indicated that the <br />Board did not specify if that should also include the Retirement <br />Trust Fund. This fund was audited when the change of trustees <br />occurred July 1, 1993. If this is included in the bid, we will be <br />
