Important Statutes <br />•The owner of a reservoir shall notify the Division Engineer when the <br />release of stored water from said reservoir is going to be made, the <br />rate at which such water will be released, and the structure (ditch, <br />pipeline, etc) to which the water will be conveyed. (CRS §37-87-103) <br />•If any reservoir is constructed without the notice as required in §37- <br />87-125 (non-jurisdictional dams), the state engineer may prohibit the <br />storage of water in such reservoir or direct the withdrawal of water <br />from such reservoir. <br />•Per CRS §37-92-502(3), each division engineer shall order the release <br />from storage of any water he/she finds to have been illegally or <br />improperly stored and shall make such orders as are necessary to <br />insure that such released waters are delivered to those owners or <br />users of water rights who are entitled to the same and to insure that <br />the release will not cause damage. <br /> <br />
