Company Comments:    


The South Morgan Ditch Company has 488 shares (1 share = 5.39 acre-feet) and 810
acre-feet of reservoir water (1.71 acre-feet per share), with 400 shares from Weber
Basin and 410 shares from Echo Reservoir. Each shareholder has the potential to divert
7.10 acre-feet (1 share = 5.39 acre-feet + 1.71 acre-feet). The reservoir water is to
help with the flood water. A share of stock in the company is valued at 5.39 acre-feet
and 1.0 acre of irrigation per share. The livestock associated with the shares of stock
are incidental to the irrigation. This information was submitted by the company.

Information contained on water right file 35-8157 owned by the company indicates 365.8
acres were irrigated by the company at the time of the Weber River general adjudication
(Weber Decree, circa 1937). It is possible the acquisition of Weber Basin water and Echo
Reservoir (Weber River Water Users Association) water has resulted in additional acreage
irrigated within the company. The State Engineer has not been provided with information
sufficient to evaluate the place of use or quantity of said possible additional acreage.
