Which of its rights are out of priority?
Not computable for this structure: this structure is not on the modelled flow network, so no reference gage can honestly stand in for it.
Where it sits in line
Priority 2003-01-16 — 1275th most senior of the 1289 structures with decreed rights in this water districtDWR's administrative subdivision of a river basin; the unit calls are usually stated in..
Under prior appropriationColorado's rule for sharing water: first in time, first in right. Age decides, not proximity or need., everything ahead of it in this line is satisfied in full before it receives any water. Immediately ahead: FINLEY NO 2 IRRIGATION POND (2003-01-16). Immediately behind: HOKESTRA ST VRAIN CREEK (2006-09-21).
Decreed rights (1)
| Admin noDWR's numeric encoding of a water right's seniority. Smaller is more senior; the integer part counts days from 1849-12-31 to the date that ranks the right. | AppropriatedWhen water was first put to beneficial use. It sets seniority unless a prior adjudication date is later. | AdjudicatedWhen the water court confirmed the right. A use decreed in 1975 was not a decreed use in 1955, however old the appropriation is. | AbsoluteA right actually put to use, as opposed to conditional -- a placeholder for a use not yet made. | ConditionalA right reserving a place in line for a use not yet made; it must be diligently pursued or it lapses. | Units | UsesWhat the court said this water may be used for -- irrigation, municipal supply, augmentation and so on. | Case |

Recorded use (last 6 years on record)
In a median year this structure has a recorded diversion of 102 AF. Its most recent year on record, 2024, came in at 80 AF — 78% of that, and 3rd lowest of the 6 years with a recorded volume.
This structure records both diversions and reservoir releases — they are separate water movements and are accounted separately below.
| Year | Diverted (AFA volume: one acre covered a foot deep, about 326,000 gallons -- roughly a suburban household's outdoor use for a year.) | Compared with its own record | Released (AF) | Days recorded | Peak (cfs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 24 | 1st lowest of 6 · 23% of median | — | 30 | 0.4 |
| 2020 | 125 | 4th lowest of 6 · 122% of median | 52 | 184 | 2.8 |
| 2021 | 132 | 5th lowest of 6 · 129% of median | 36 | 224 | 2.3 |
| 2022 | 138 | 6th lowest of 6 · 135% of median | 89 | 311 | 1.8 |
