To make its recommendation, more useful the ARCC is developing a list of potential water <br />supplies and assessing the likely costs and impacts of particular acquisition strategies. <br /> <br />For the purpose of generating this type of preliminary information the ARCC is seeking <br />expressions of interest from water rights owners who may have water supplies available for purchase <br />or lease in the future. <br /> <br />If you have water rights which you may be interested in making available for augmentation <br />and/or recreation purposes, please fill out and return the enclosed form/fact sheet.

Your response can not be treated as <br />confidential information. Your response will not bind you in any fashion, but only legitimate, <br />reasonable expressions of interest will be given serious evaluation by the WAS and/or the ARCC. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, or need further information before responding, please contact Gene <br /> <br />Jencsok at the ColoradD Water Conservation Board, 303-866-3441, or speak to an ARCC <br /> <br /> <br />member representing your area. <br />
