County Attorney - Water

The County Attorney's Office will review after receipt of findings from the Colorado Division of Water Resources. In addition, much of the WSIS and Water Resources Report (WRR) focuses on available supply rather than estimated demand. Please revise these documents to detail the estimated demand for the various uses anticipated and the bases for those estimates. Without that information, the County Attorney’s Office cannot evaluate whether the estimate is reasonable and whether the supply is sufficient to meet that demand. It is not sufficient to simply cite the maximum available supply as the estimated demand, and in some instances the amounts and estimates don’t add up. For example, the WSIS notes an estimated demand of 5.0 annual AF to irrigate 10+ acres. The WRR states on p. 4 states, however, that 0.06 AF/year is the estimated demand to irrigate 1,000 sq. ft. per lot and is included in the estimated per lot demand of 0.32 annual AF. What else is proposed to be irrigated? Please specifically identify the actual water demands anticipated by this subdivision that might be supplied by that additional 5.0 annual AF. If community gardens are planned, where are they, how big will they be, and who will manage them? As another example, for the 13.33 annual AF available for return flow to augment pond evaporation, please estimate the annual evaporation anticipated from the 3 ponds. The intent is not for the County to limit the water uses or amounts, but compare the estimated demand of the various uses to the available supply. 6/12/2024 10:17:51 AM
