<br />! <br /> <br />VI-4 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Kelly Pond Reservoir was last used over 20 years ago according to <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Arbaney. It is in need of much work to control leakage before it <br /> <br /> <br />can be used again. Mr. Arbaney believes he also owns this structure, <br /> <br /> <br />but he has informed us that the State Division of Wildlife has expressed <br /> <br /> <br />an interest in making arrangements with him for making use of the <br /> <br /> <br />reservoir themselves. <br /> <br />The water commissioner has further stated that below the springs from <br /> <br />which Basalt gets its water there are additional springs which he <br /> <br />feels may be worth looking into as possible sources of municipal water. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Rick Adams, the State Wildlife officer, has informed us that the <br />State is anxious to make the fullest use of its water rights in the <br />Lucksinger Basin. He is of the opinion that the State owns all of the <br />rights I isted in Table VI-A including the 169.9 acre feet storage right <br />in Kelly Pond. He told us that the State has headgates for all the <br />ditches in the basin and is planning to install them this spring. They <br />are also studying ways to renovate the Kelly Pond Resrvoir, and would <br />like to use it as soon as possible. <br /> <br />In general, he feels that the State is sympathetic towards Basalt's <br /> <br /> <br />needs. They plan to install their headgate on Lucksinger Ditch in <br /> <br /> <br />such a way as to enable the entire flow to enter Basalt's system. <br /> <br /> <br />But as long as Basalt has no critical need for the water, they are <br /> <br />not willing to lease or sell any more water to Basalt. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
