Evens Ditch Case Creates Change in Water Decree
Judge James Telos Evans approves a decree altering the Evans ditch from its original head gate on the Big Thompson to a new point near the Platte river. The change affects the entire ditch including a 30 foot-wide channel valued at $90, and aligns with state priorities and appropriations. The decision follows opposition from adjacent interests over rights to waters from the Big Thompson and Platte rivers and the ditch’s continued operation. The case references the Evans town ditch origin and prior decrees granted in April. A state annual report notes receipts totaling $664,847.70 to $3,422,536.66 across state deposits for the year ending February, with funds allocated to various state accounts.
