Colorado Water
Pueblo Chieftain: "Attorneys are working the next step in a state Supreme Court appeal by a company seeking to change the use of water rights it owns in the Arkansas Valley's largest canal...In a 2002 filing, High Plains sought to change the use of its shares, approximately one-fourth of the Fort Lyon Canal's 93,000 shares, to municipal and industrial uses, as well as agricultural. Maes denied the change on July 2, 2004, because High Plains did not identify end users and violated the state's anti-speculation doctrine. The same ruling was applied to separate cases by an independent shareholders group which owns about 9 percent of the shares and by other shareholders, about 6 percent, who had signed options with High Plains. High Plains, which is picking up the legal costs for the other cases, appealed Maes' ruling on Aug. 17."
