Water-right lineage
This timeline puts this company’s decreed rights across all 2 structures listed above in chronological order by appropriation date (oldest first), grouped by decade; each entry names the structure (WDID) it belongs to. 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.

As of 2026-07-27, DWR diversion records for WDID 0103024, 0300929. Annual values follow the DWR water year (November–October). Structure records begin and end in different years; DitchBook does not sum diversions across structures. — means DWR has no annual-total row for that structure and year; it is not zero. Years marked provisional are DWR's own provisional records — the state has not finalized them, and they are drawn with a dashed outline above. All other years are published records. 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 New Cache La Poudre Irrigating 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 New Cache La Poudre Irrigating 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.
