July]o205 <br /> Page 4of4 <br /> Q: My decree for my water right doesn't include any requirements for me to measure my <br /> diversions. Du | still have to comply with the Measurement Rules? <br /> /\: Yes' Under their statutory authority to require measurement, DYYR may require more <br /> stringent measurement requirements than included in a water court decree. Likewise, a <br /> water court decree may include more stringent measurement requirements than included in <br /> the Measurement Rules, and u water user would need to comply with those decree <br /> requirements. In most of those instances, compliance with the decree requirements is also <br /> likely to be sufficient under the Measurement Rules. In the unlikely event n water court <br /> decree conflicts with the Measurement Rules, that will need to be addressed on o case-by- <br /> case basis, and m variance under Rule 11 might beappropriate. <br /> [X How did DVVRpnovide notice ofthe ru(emmahjn0 process to water rights holders? <br /> A: !n April and May ZO25' DVYR held stakeholder meetings throughout Division 4inDelta, <br /> Gunnison, Norwood, and Montrose.
