Water Division 1,Water District 4 Dear Ms. Lockman: We have reviewed additional information submitted to this office on July 5, 2002 regarding the above referenced proposal to a subdivide a 152.815 acre parcel into 9 (PUD) single family residential lots of approximately 5 acres in size and an agricultural lot approximately 100 acres in size. A revised Water Supply Information Summary Sheet indicates that the household use water requirements for the 9 residential lots is still 6.75 acre-feet per year, however the irrigation water requirements for the residential lots and the agricultural lot is now estimated at 160 acre-feet per year. The applicant is proposing to transfer to the homeowners 20 shares of non-potable irrigation system for the nine lots and open space. The applicant also indicated that there would be sufficient amount of water to satisfy the irrigation needs within the residential lots since one share can yield on an average 3 acre-feet per year. Additionally the agricultural lot historically irrigated in the past will continue to be irrigated with water rights from the Rockwell Reservoir, which will average 100 acre-feet per year. The Little Thompson Water District (District) has been proposed as the source of water for the household use of the residential lots and a letter of commitment from the District was previously submitted. Pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(II), C.R.S., the State Engineer's office offers the opinion, that contingent upon water service being provided by the District, the proposed water supply will not cause material injury to existing water rights and the supply is expected to be adequate. If you have any questions in this matter, please contact loana Comaniciu of this office. Sincerely, Kenneth W.
