<br /> <br />;.1', <br /> <br /> <br />-66- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />As a result, the owner of a "district acre" in the Iliff <br />Irrigation District is entitled to 1/10,874.3 of all of its water, <br />or 1/10,874.3 x 8/31 of all water stored in Prewitt Reservoir. <br />The shrink between the outlet of Prewitt Reservoir to each <br />of these ditches is. calculated separately on each separate run <br />of water, depending on the current circumstances, such as river <br />flow, etc. This is done by the Water Commissioner, who lets the <br />Prewitt Operating Committee know for its records. The records <br />of the Prewitt Operating Committee indicate the acre-feet to be <br />released from Prewitt Reservoir for each of the aforementioned <br />ditches, rather than the acre-feet which each ditch can pick up <br />from the river after deduction of shrinkage. <br />The records of the Prewitt Operating Committee show an item <br />headed "river exchange" for the Logan Irrigation District rights. <br />Under this heading is entered the shrinkage charged to each ditch <br />on its deliveries of Prewitt Reservoir water during the season. <br />(For the Iliff this shrink is taken into account automatically). <br />Alex Michel agreed with us that this was poor terminology. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />5. The Morgan-Prewitt Reservoir Company <br /> <br /> <br />The Morgan-Prewitt Reservoir Company is a mutual non-profit <br /> <br /> <br />irrigation company which owns a 6/31 interest in the Prewitt <br /> <br /> <br />Reservoir as a tenant in common with the Iliff Irrigation District <br /> <br /> <br />and the Logan Irrigation District. Although Alex Michel manages <br /> <br /> <br />its water, insofar as releases from Prewitt Reservoir are con- <br /> <br /> <br />cerned, most of its water is delivered by exchange and is used in <br /> <br /> <br />Water District No.1 above the Prewitt Reservoir.

"Bill" <br /> <br /> <br />Samples of Fort Morgan is the Secretary of the Morgan-Prewitt <br />Reservoir Company and its office is in Fort Morgan. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />WOODWARD.Ct.YDE.SHERARD AND ASSOCIATES <br />
