Where the record is
- Colorado water courts (Judicial Branch)
- Decrees and case files (DWR Laserfiche, Water Court folder)
- Colorado Supreme Court opinions mentioning water (CourtListener)
- Active substitute water supply plans (DWR, open data)
- Northern Water C-BT quota history (PDF)
Resumes are read monthly from the Judicial Branch's archives and indexed to structures on their dossiers; opposition deadlines are computed from the statute's rule (the last day of the second month after the resume month) and are not the court's word. Decrees are not machine-readable anywhere public; the dossier links each case number to DWR's file. Supreme Court opinions are the next thing to index here. Report a problem →
