<br />C831 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />In March 1970, we declared 5,000 acre-feet of project water available <br />for sale to the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District. It <br />was hoped this water would be delivered in April or early May so that <br />storing for the Homestake project and High Line Canal Company would <br />not have to be restricted because of the aggregate stockpile. However, <br />the water was not delivered until August and September. The project <br />water was sold by the District to the Catlin Canal Company, the Twin <br />Lakes Reservoir and Canal Company, and the CF&I Steel Corporation. <br />This was the first water delivered by the project. <br /> <br />During August of 1970, the Pueblo Water Board experienced trouble with <br />their Clear Creek Reservoir outlet works, making it necessary to <br />evacuate about 9,000 acre-feet of storage water. Most of this 9,000 acre- <br />feet of water was transferred to storage in Twin Lakes by exchange. <br />Starting in early September, at the request of the Pueblo Water Board, <br />part of their water stored in Twin Lakes was transferred to storage in <br />Turquoise Lake by exchange with releases of Homestake project water to <br />the Trout Creek Pumping Plant. As of the end of September, there was <br />2,779 acre-feet of Pueblo Water Board water in Turquoise Lake. Tlie Board <br />expects to pay, in dollars, a service charge for this storage service. The <br />charge is yet to be negotiated. Tlie charge for storing Homestake and High <br />Line Canal Company water is on the basis of 20 percent of the water stored. <br />This is being done on an interim agreement. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />6 <br />
