Well Retirement Program

It is the RRWCD’s goal to provide options to producers who wish to voluntarily retire their irrigation water rights. Every producer’s situation is different, contact the RRWCD today to discuss if well retirement is the right option for you.

Assessment Fees

Well Assessment Fees Are Used to Fund Our Retirement Incentive Programs

An Accurate Annual Assessment

Each year a comprehensive assessment is conducted of every well in the RRWCD Basin. We use the results of this assessment to issue an assessment fee report to each County Treasurer. Our goal is 100% accuracy on every assessment, however, mistakes are sometimes made. As such we provide recourse for property owners to dispute their assessed fees.

Completed Objective

Compact Compliance Pipeline

The Compact Compliance Pipeline (CCP) was built by the RRWCD in 2012, to assist the State of Colorado in complying with the Republican River Compact. The 12-mile pipeline system delivers water to the North Fork Republican to off-set precipitation and water usage in the basin.
