<br />68. Project opernlion and return on 'investment.- The plan of opera-
<br />tion calls for t.he formation of n. water conservan.cy distriet, under the
<br />Colorado Vi utcr Conservancy District Act or 19:n, us amended, which
<br />would contract with the Government. for paynlcn(, of project sen.ic€s
<br />performed in t.he collection, storage, rt~gulu.tion, ancI release. of water.
<br />Supplemental irrigation water at specificd rates would be released to
<br />the district at reservoir outlets or possibly along the river, depending
<br />upon circumstances. The pl"Oposed basic rate of $3,60 pe.r "crc-foot
<br />at the Pueblo Rescrvoir has becn determined to bc within the payment
<br />capacit,yof the water users. The district. would nsslIme responsibility
<br />for delivery of irrigation watcr. This district, or possihly another
<br />entity, would contrac.t with the Governfficlit for. Federal r::onstrucLion
<br />of the specific municipal wate\, system, for district operat.ion and
<br />maintenance of that system, and for delivcry of water from t.he joint
<br />water-supply system. The district would also have other sOllrces of
<br />annual revenue: levies from an ad va.lorem tax on taxahle property
<br />benefited by the project, a service charge for t.he storage of the addi-
<br />tionn.l Twin Lakes irrigation water, and a service charge for project
<br />I. ..0 of the additional Colorado Fuel & Iron industrial water which
<br />. uded with municipal supplics for pay-out analysis. Estimated
<br />a ... project revenues, excluslve of re\-pellues expected from the
