WATER RIGHTS
The State Engineers Office (SEO) has indicated that any discharge that does not return water directly to surface
waters (i.e. land application, rapid infiltration basins, etc.) has the potential for material injury to a water right.
As a result, the SEO needs to determine that material injury to a water right will not occur from such activities.
To make this judgment, the SEO requests that a copy of all documentation demonstrating that the requirements of
Colorado water law have been met, be submitted to their office for review. The submittal should be made as
soon as possible to the following address:
Colorado Division of Water Resources
1313 Sherman St., Room 818
Denver, Colorado 80203
Should there be any questions on the issue of water rights, the SEO can be contacted at [phone]. It is
important to understand that any CDPS permit issued by the Division does not constitute a water right.
Issuance of a CDPS permit does not negate the need to also have the necessary water rights in place. It is
also important to understand that even if the activity has an existing CDPS permit, there is no guazantee that the
proper water rights aze in place.
