Colorado Surface Irrigators

Colorado surface irrigators off of the Pioneer and Laird ditches pay no fee to the Colorado Ground Water Board for diverted water from the Republican River since their right is pre-Compact. There is a fee for surface evaporation loss at Bonny Reservoir, and that fee is paid by the State. All groundwater irrigators pay a $5.50 per acre fee.
