Most of the supply is planned for use in <br /> <br />Montrose. Olathe. Delta. and surrounding rural areas under the piped <br /> <br />system of the Tri-County Water Conservancy District. The remaining <br /> <br />supply would be available for use anywhere in the district, the only <br /> <br />restrictions being that only 5,100 acre-feet of the supply could be <br /> <br />diverted above the M and D Canal in order that adequate fishery flows <br /> <br />would be available in the river between the reservoir and the canal. <br /> <br />The project water supplies would be distributed through existing facilities <br /> <br />or facilities constructed by the Tri-County Water Conservancy District <br /> <br />or the water users. <br /> <br />The water reserved for recreation use at the Ridgway Reservoir would <br /> <br />be used fQr irrigation of trees. shrubs. and parks. It would also be used <br /> <br />for drinking water and for sanitary facilities there. <br /> <br />The plan includes two public recreation areas at the reservoir. and <br /> <br />measures to enhance fishing opportunities, improve wildlife habitat, and <br /> <br />mitigate wildlife habitat losses caused by the reservoir development. <br /> <br />3 <br />
