70. If the value for the regulation of winter water
is estimated at $1.25 per acre-foot, which is comparable to
current costs for like services, an additional return of
$3,700,000 or more can be expected from irrigation over the
repayment period. The actual value remains to be determined.
The value of tins service must be an amount substantially
less than $3.60 per acre-foot which is the value at the
Pueblo Reservoir established for a new supplemental water
supply.
