Course Description:
Ditch and reservoir companies in Colorado are not only concerned with water law issues but many spend the majority of their efforts and time dealing with their portfolios of real estate assets. Many canal companies realize property rights can be extremely valuable. If properly managed, they can increase to the company’s financial health. The scope of real estate holdings; and issues faced by canal companies may include: easements of ditches and reservoirs; carriage agreements; oil and gas royalties; reservoir holdings; and rights, responsibilities and liabilities of land owned under fee simple. Urban pressures facing ditch companies have created storm flow problems, the creation of trails along ditches and increased liability concerns.
