The estimated cost <br />of the water rights purchase increased from $407,000 in 1998, to $532,000 in 2001. The <br />Association has requested that their loan authorization be increased by $100,000.

The Association provides raw water to property owners through an <br />existing well and pipeline system. The water is used for irrigation, livestock watering, and <br />fire protection, and represents an existing water use. The well has a junior water right and <br />must be augmented to replace its consumptive use. The CRPOA wants to buy water rights <br />for this purpose. The purchase cost inciudes $7,000 for the cost of engineering to evaluate <br />the water rights purchased. <br /> <br />Feasibilitv Studies <br />Robert Longenbaugh P.E. completed the Feasibility Study November 12,1998.
