Included in Appendix D is a summary <br />of the storage records for the years 1974 through 1985 <br />as kept by John W. Neutze, Water Commissioner, and <br />records for 1970 through 1973 as compiled by the <br />Division of Water Resources, District Engineers Office <br />in Greeley. Also included is a tabulation of records <br />taken from the North Poudre Irrigation files for the <br />year 1960 through 1969. From these records, it is <br />apparent that North poudre has operated the reservoir <br />at its maximum capacity. From 1960 to 1973 the storage <br />records indicate Gage Height readings predominately <br />near maximum of seven feet (7') during most of the <br />year. From 1974 to 1985 the storage records tend to <br />indicate storage at leSs than capacity with an average <br />storage of 517 acre-feet. This storage level is near <br />that for Gage Height of five feet (5') which is the <br />level at which operation is being restricted by the <br />state Engineer. storage at the maximum decreed <br />capacity has probably not been utilized since sometime <br />prior to 1958. Based on records that the outlet <br />conduit was raised in 1958, it would appear the <br />reservoir has not been storing its maximum decreed <br /> <br />IV-3 <br />
