Water Rights

The Decker Lateral is a carrier ditch for water delivered by Owl
Creek Supply and Irrigation, which itself operates as a carrier
ditch. Water is supplied to Owl Creek from several sources
(Larimer-Weld, Windsor Canal, Norther Colorado Water Conservancy
District, etc.). The actual water rights are the shares owned in
the several primary water supply companies or districts, by the
individual Decker Lateral shareholders. Ownership of a share in
the Decker Lateral represents a right to transport 0.25 cfs of
water which the shareholder owns in a separate primary source.
There are no separate water wights or State Engineer Diversion
Records for the DLC.

There are a total of 230 shares ("carry rights") in the DLC, of
which 84 shares are associated with the lower end of the ditch.
84 shares allows a total run of 21 cfs (1 share equals 0.25 cfs.)
Shares are apportioned to the land in a ratio of one share per 20
acres.

Cost Estimate
