System Comments

**** 2024 **** We have one meter which meters the entire system.
This meter does not separate ag use from residential use, so the way we
arrive at the number of acre feet used by each entity is multiply the total
use by the percentage of residential [9%] and ag [91%].
**** 2025 **** 1 single meter for entire company.

The Water Use Reporting Program is continuously working on improving data accuracy and completeness in partnership with water users.

*Note: Estimated Unmetered Water and Losses % = 100 x (Total From Sources - Total Metered Use - Total Wholesale - Total Returns) / Total From Sources

**** 2024 ****
The water from the Morrison Tunnel comes out of an old coal mine which runs
extremely consistently year round.
Our cut of the mine stream amounts to almost exactly 1 acre foot of water
per day.

**** 2024 **** One half of Six Mile Creek flows into Palisade Lake.
This amount is measured with a weir.
Our cut of Six Mile Creek is 49% [which flows in the Upper Ditch]. We
calculate our allotted amount from the total weir measurement.
