A contract between the <br />Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District and the United <br />States Government, providing for the operation and maintenance <br />of project features and repayment of $25,000,000 of the con- <br />struction costs by the Conservancy District, was executed on <br />Juq 5, 1938. A supplemental contract, exe,cuted on Juq 14, <br />1950, between the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District <br />and the United States Government provided for a change in the <br />method of supplying water to the lands under the North Poudre <br />Canal and added $889,000 to' the repayment obligation of the <br />District, raising the total maximum obligation to $25,889,000. <br />During the construction period, such amounts of water as become <br />available are sold under an interim contract which was executed <br />'December 15, 1950. Revenues to the United States from operation <br />under this contract are expected to amount to approximately <br />$3,000,000. The interim contract will remain in effect until <br />notice is given of the availability of water under the 1938 <br />contract, at which time operation of the project under the 1938 <br />contract will commence.
