the former Vincent ~oir Nos. 1 and 2 (now known as Pali."t1e Reservoirs Nos. 4 and 5). The Town's primary ~torage facility is Palisade Cabin Reservoir. Palisade Cabin Reservoir fills under four changed water rights (which comprise the most senior rights for the reservoir), as well as under three water rights which were originally decreed for storage in the reservoir. All of these storage rights have 27 decreed alternate points of diversion wlUch cover all of the Town's collection points which can flow by gravity into Palisade Cabin Reservoir. These include the Town's Kmzen Springs collection facilities, as well as all of the Town's collection system in the Rapid Creek and Cottonwood Creek basins except f()r the lower Cottonwood Springs and the Lower Cottonwood Cteek Intake. The Egger Ditch and Egger Reservoir water rights were changed to allow storage of up tCl 85 acre feet per year in Palisade Cabin Reservoir for municipQ1 uses. A portion of the water rights originally decreed for Vincent Reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 were also changed to allow storllge of up to 210.52 acre feet per year in Palisade Cabin Reservoir for municipal uses. The balance of the storage rights originally decreed for Vincent Reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 have been abandoned. The water rights originally decreed for storage in Palisade Cabin Reservoir include an I)riginal storage right and a 1st and 2nd e1argement of 166 acre feet, 634 acre feet and 11.48 acre feet per year, respectively. These rights were decreed for municipal uses. The original storage right for Palisade Cabin Reservoir is protected from Colorado River ealls by Green Mountain storage releases. However, the 1st and 2nd enlargement rights do not receive Green Mountain protection and would be subject to Colorado river ealls unless protected by other replacement supply sources such as Ruedi Reservoir water. The storage rights for Palisade Reservoir No. 1 and Palisade Reservoir No. 3 were originally decreed for storage in those reservoirs for municipal uses and are protected from Colorado River calls by Green Mountain storage releases. Granat and Denison l{eservoirs were constructed in 1993. Filings were made for 8 AF for Granat and 12 AF for Denison in 1994. They are at the same location as the proposed Palisade Reservoir No.2. lV-II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
