COMMISSIONERS
The annual meeting for The Weld County Underground Water Users Association (WCUWUA) is
scheduled for March 8, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at the Association's office in Lucerne, Colorado located at the
address above.
Please execute the ballot enclosed and return it to the office.
The directors are providing you with the enclosed proxy and voting ballot to fill out and send back
to the Association in lieu of your attendance at the annual meeting. The items to be voted on at the annual
meeting include electing two directors for three-year terms, the levying of assessments and any other
business that may properly come before the membership.
The board currently consists of seven directors, Mike Hungenberg (President), Lynn Fagerberg
(Vice-president), Frank Eckhardt, Keith Amen, Chuck Winter, Bruce Johnson and Dale Trowbridge
(Secretary).
The directors whose terms expire this year are Chuck Winter and Dale Trowbridge. These two are
on the enclosed ballot. No other nominations have been made for director.
The well pumping fees for 2022 are recommended by the directors to meet the budget needs of the
company. The directors are recommending the well assessments be $3.00 per acre-foot of pumping. This
is a same assessment rate as in 2021.
If you would prefer to attend the annual meeting rather than fill out the enclosed proxy and ballot,
or if you have questions or comments about the Association, the items of business, the proxy or the annual
meeting, please contact Dale Trowbridge, Secretary of the Association, at the number above for further
details and so that we can obtain a head count of those who plan to attend in person.
The wells in the Cache La Poudre Water Users Association plan can only be used per the decree
for the well. Last year a well was used for construction purposes (dust control). The State issued a Cease
and Desist Order for the well. This is a similar situation to using a well fracking of oil & gas wells. The
CLPWUA well augmentation plan does NOT augment wells for these uses. Therefore, using a well for
these purposes is outside of the policy of the company. Those who do use their well for purposes outside
of the augmentation of the Association are risking future use of their well.
Thank you for your continued support of the Association.
Sincerely,
citnartizy.
