It must, therefore, run through Water District Nos. 4, 2, <br />and 1. After the water has been released by the NCWCD, it is the <br /> <br />sole responsibility of the State water officials to deliver the <br /> <br />water downstream to the Bijou or the Riverside system, less any <br /> <br />transportation losses in the Big Thompson and South Ph tte Rivers. <br />In practice, this was handled by the Bijou or the Riverside, <br /> <br />as the case may be, by telling John L.

Sometimes these <br />notifications were by telephone and sometimes in person at the <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />NCWCD office in Loveland. <br /> <br />At the time the Colorado-Big Thompson project was constructed <br /> <br />there were discussions between the NCWCD officials and the State <br /> <br />WOOPwAIlD.CLYOf.SHERARD AHD ASSOCIATES <br /> <br />I I <br />
