Current Status

8/25/11:  Due to the drought in the Westcliffe area we estimate September 19, 20, 21 will be our last run of water for this year.  We will have used all of our stored water and the 200 acre feet of water we purchased form the Southeastern Water Conservancy District.

6/23/11: Due to drought and shortage of water in Lake DeWeese, the Board of DeWeese Ditch has decided to extend the watering season by directing water to shareholders only one day per week.  Beginning June 27 and until further notice Division I will receive water on Monday, Division II on Tuesday, and Division III on Wednesday.

5/12/11:  The ditch is shut down to allow repairing a leak, will be off May 12, 13, & 14.  Will resume on Monday May 16.

4/5/11:  Ditch water should begin on May 2nd.

9/20/2010:  The Water Commissioner informed us we will be out of water October 3, 2010.

9/13/2010:  It looks like we have enough water left in Lake DeWeese to continue running twice a week into early October. 

All shareholders should inspect their ditch to make sure it is clean and free from debris or trash.  If anyone has questions or concerns they should contact the ditch superintendent.

The ditch company is responsible for maintaining the main ditch and regulating the water to the various laterals.  The share holders on the various laterals are responsible for maintaining their lateral.  When time and resources permit the ditch rider may have his crew assist in maintaining laterals.
