Shareholders:

Due to the lack of snowpack last winter, coupled with the hot and dry winds, has led to an extreme drought condition in our area. Lincoln Park Crooked Ditch went on Phase 2 River Call as of June 17th. During Phase 2 River Call the State cuts our allotment of water back to half as much water and half as much time as before River Call. 

That said, please understand it's difficult to push water to the end of our lines when everyone is watering. This makes it important to conserve your water usage to allow all our shareholders to be able to get a fair portion of water. Please be mindful of this when watering and avoid waste wherever possible. 

We are closely monitoring the water levels in the Arkansas River and as these levels fluctuate, we are making adjustments accordingly. The following is the link should you want to follow the river flows: ARKPARCO: ARKANSAS RIVER AT PARKDALE, CO. 

Going into this season, we knew that it would be a tough year. However, we can get through this by working together and being mindful and considerate of each other. Should you have any further questions, please contact the Ditch Superintendent or your Division Director.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
