Understanding Western Colorado Water Rights Water rights in Western Colorado is a very complex topic and play a pivotal role in managing your irrigated property. There is an old saying that whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting. Although I’m not sure how many people (if any) have died fighting for water rights, it certainly has been the cause for many disputes over the years. Here is a general explanation that may be helpful.

Decreed Water Rights As the western lands began to be settled in the late 1800’s reservoirs and ditches were constructed to hold and deliver water to various pieces of land. Water rights were established in Colorado by the “first in use, first in right” method. Meaning the person that first diverted water to his land was granted 1st priority rights and those that followed were granted lower priority rights in the order that they were established.

These rights are typically referred to as decreed or adjudicated water rights, meaning that the courts recognize the established and rightful use of a certain amount of water for a particular piece of land. Most times (but not always) these rights are directly tied to a piece of land and are transferred with the sale of the property by deed and passed from one owner of the property to the next.

What is a Share of Decreed Water?

Water is typically measured in Cubic Feet Per Second (c.f.s.). A water right for decreed water might be expressed as; an undivided one-half interest in and to the 1.0 c.f.s. decreed to the Carbon Ditch as Priority H-25. This would mean that the user has a right to .5 c.f.s. of flow in the Carbon Ditch and the “Priority H-25” is the level of priority to use that water.

To further explain, as the snow begins to melt in early spring (usually starting on April 1 of each year), water can be placed in the ditch. This is referred to as “free water” or “early water” and is typically available to all property owners along a ditch whether they have water rights or not.

As the people with water rights begin to use their water, if there is not enough to go around, the “free water” ends and only users with decreed water rights can utilize the amount of water they have a right to. If water is plentiful and all decreed users can get their rightful share, nothing is done and everyone is happy. However, as the water begins to deplete, water starts to get shut off to certain users beginning with the lowest priority water right. This ensures that the highest priority water right owner has access to their rightful amount of water the longest.

All water must be measured before it can be diverted.

The device for this measurement is called a Parshall Flume. A Parshall flume is a fixed hydraulic structure set in a ditch and used to measure water flow. It allows an accurate reading of the water volume by accelerating the flow rate to match the depth of the flume. Water must be measured in order to determine the appropriate amount of water is being delivered.

Decreed water usually flows continuously (24/7) until such time it gets shut off due to higher priority users placing “calls” for their water. Sometimes this means only water for a month or two or other times it can last the whole irrigation season – depending priority of the water right and the seasonal water supply.

Reservoir Water Shares Reservoir water is water that is stored in a reservoir or a series of reservoirs and owned by shareholders.

These shareholders can buy and sell their shares of water separately from any land purchase. As long as the water can be delivered from the reservoir to a particular piece of land, these water shares can be used or be delivered to multiple different parcels. Typically in addition to the reservoir shares, you must also own “ditch rights” which ensures you have the right to run water in a particular ditch in order for it to be delivered to a particular parcel of land.

All of these rights come with an annual assessment which is collected from shareholders for upkeep, maintenance and other expenses.

What is a Share of Reservoir Water?

A share of reservoir water means nothing outside of your water company. One share of water from one reservoir company may be equal to 1,000 shares of water in another. You must quantify a share in the form of c.f.s. or cubic feet per second in order to establish the value of a particular share.

Each reservoir company has a predetermined amount of water that equates to each share that is owned. In one company, 1 share of water may equate to 1 c.f.s. and in another company, 1 share might equate to 5 c.f.s. It is imperative that you establish the amount of water a share represents in order to know the value of your reservoir shares.

The amount of water for each share can vary drastically each year depending on the amount of water that is stored in the reservoir. Every spring, the reservoir company’s board of directors meets with shareholders and establishes the amount of water that will be available for each shareholder. However, to asses the amount of water each share is worth, averages of “normal” are typically used.

Reservoir water is also measured in c.f.s, however, it is based on a 24 hour flow as opposed to a seasonal flow like decreed water. Reservoir water is ordered for a period of days and the amount delivered comes off of the total amount available that is owned by each shareholder.

For instance, you might own 10 shares of reservoir water which might equate to a total of 10 c.f.s. of water (each share is worth 1 c.f.s. of water). If you order 0.5 c.f.s. for 4 days, at the end of the 4-day run, your water would be shut back off and you would have used 2 c.f.s. of your 10 c.f.s. allotment, leaving you with 8 c.f.s. of water to be ordered throughout the remainder of the season. 1 CFS = 1.983 acre-feet per day = 646,320 gallons = 2447 cubic meters of water Buying Irrigated Land in Western Colorado If you are interested in purchasing irrigated land it is wise to engage an attorney that is familiar with Colorado water law to assist you in your investigation and understanding of the water rights. Too many people have learned lessons the hard way by not doing the necessary due diligence they needed to gain a full understanding of Colorado water rights. While having a broker that is skillful in the topic of water rights is necessary, legal advice should be sought by a competent attorney for further protection and a better understanding of the water rights for a particular property.

3 Tips to Prepare to Sell Your Home According to Realtor.com, spring is the busiest and best season to sell a home. While a good home can find a buyer any time of year, homeowners might find the buyers’ pool is strongest in spring and into summer. The reasons for that are many, ranging from parents wanting to move when their children are not in school to buyers wanting to move when the weather is most accommodating.

Because spring is such a popular time to sell a home, homeowners who want to put their homes on the market should use winter as an opportunity to prepare their homes for the prying eyes of prospective buyers. The following tips can help homeowners during the pre-selling preparation process.

1

Address the Exterior of the Home

Winter can be harsh on a home’s exterior, so as winter winds down, homeowners who want to sell their homes should make an effort to address anything that might negatively affect their home’s curb appeal. A study of homes in Greenville, S.C., from researchers at Clemson University found that the value of homes with landscapes that were upgraded from “good” to “excellent” increased by 6 to 7 percent. If it’s in the budget, hire professional landscapers to fix any problematic landscaping or address any issues that arose during the winter. Homeowners with green thumbs can tackle such projects on their own, but hiring professionals is akin to staging inside the home.

2

Conquer Interior Clutter

Clutter has a way of accumulating over the winter, when people tend to spend more time indoors than they do throughout the rest of the year. Homeowners who want to put their homes on the market in spring won’t have the luxury of waiting until spring to do their “spring” cleaning, so start clearing any clutter out in winter, even resolving to make an effort to prevent its accumulation throughout winter. Just like buyers are impressed by curb appeal, they are turned off by clutter. The Appraisal Institute suggests homeowners clear clutter out of their homes before appraisers visit, and the same approach can be applied to open houses. Buyers, like appraisers, see cluttered homes as less valuable. In addition, a home full of clutter might give buyers the impression, true or not, that the home was not well maintained.

24

Real Estate Today | May 2021 | www.coloradorealestatetoday.com

3

Eliminate Odors

A home’s inhabitants grow accustomed to odors that might be circulating through the house. Pet odor, for instance, might not be as strong to a home’s residents as it is to guests and prospective buyers. Because windows tend to stay closed throughout the winter, interior odors can be even stronger come late-winter than they are during the rest of the year. A thorough cleaning of the house, including vacuuming and removal of any pet hair that accumulated over the winter, can help to remove odor. In the weeks leading up to the open house, bathe pets more frequently, using a shampoo that promotes healthy skin so pet dander is not as prevalent. Open windows when the weather allows so more fresh air comes into the home.
