 Denver Water sat down with west slope water interests yesterday to discuss solutions to lessen the effects of the Front Range water grab moving water across the Great divide, according to the Denver Post [July 14, 2005, "W. Slope group, Denver dip toes in water talks"]. From the article, "While tight-lipped about the proposal's details, the two factions did meet at a restaurant on Keystone's summit to talk about how an agreement might usher in a new era of Colorado water negotiations. Over time, relations across the Continental Divide have soured as Front Range consumption of Western Slope water has grown to about 200 billion gallons a year, according to a recent study. 'The time has come in Colorado to surpass parochial interest in ways to solve area-wide problems,' said Chips Barry, Denver Water's manager. In late May, the Western Slope coalition presented Denver Water with the proposal, which covers a variety of long-standing disputes ranging from financial compensation for future projects to ways of dealing with future problems."
