As of 2026-07-27, DWR Water Rights Net Amounts. Absolute rights are decreed for water already put to use; conditional rights hold a place in line for use not yet completed. Amounts are shown exactly as the state records them. 51 additional rights recorded only as alternate-point/exchange (APEX) net amounts are not shown in this table. 2 rights shown also carry APEX amounts that are not displayed. How this page is built.

Water-right lineage

This timeline puts WDID 0700569’s decreed rights (Farmers Highline Canal) — the same rights as the portfolio above — in chronological order by appropriation date (oldest first), grouped by decade. It reflects DWR’s current net-amounts tabulation, not a complete decree history: intermediate decrees, changes, and abandonment proceedings exist only in the underlying court case files. It is not a title opinion and not a complete chain of title.

A diversion record is what the state's records show ran through the headgate; it is not a share, an entitlement, or a company allocation. How this page is built.

DitchBook is not affiliated with Farmers High Line Canal And Reservoir Company. This page is a public-record profile compiled from Colorado Secretary of State and public water-district data.

A mutual ditch or reservoir company is a nonprofit corporation formed under Colorado law — most commonly C.R.S. Title 7, Article 42 — so that landowners who share an irrigation ditch, canal, or reservoir can jointly own and operate it. Instead of the water right belonging to a single person, shares in the company represent each owner's proportional claim, and the company's board and secretary keep the ledger, run assessments for maintenance, and issue certificates the way any small corporation would. Many of these companies have operated continuously since the 1880s, run entirely by volunteer officers who inherit the books from whoever kept them before.

Buying or selling land with shares in Farmers High Line Canal And Reservoir Company?

Ditch shares are corporate stock — they don't transfer with the deed, and under C.R.S. § 7-42-104 unpaid assessments follow the shares to the new owner as a lien. The plain-English walkthrough — including what the standard Colorado contract does and doesn't protect — is at Ditch shares at closing on Water Rights Colorado, a guide site from DitchBook's operator.
