Water rights dispute threatens Weld County headgates
A court fight over routing more than 100 cubic feet per second of Big Platte River water from Weld County ditches to Morgan County irrigation projects could close Weld headgates and affect thousands of acres. The case centers on 104 cfs from the J Thomas ditch and 25 cfs from Hodgson and Highland ditches, with the Consolidated Mutual association opposing a transfer. The water value exceeds 300,000 dollars and a large law team led by J C Ewing of Greeley represents several ditch companies.
