Two Rivers Water Company, a company focused on acquiring and developing water, farming and alternative energy in southern Colorado, announced today they have received a $9,900,000 loan approval from the Colorado Water Conservation Board. This loan will be in two phases. The first phase will be to fund the repairs of the Cucharas Reservoir to comply with the Colorado Division of Water Resources, Dam Safety Program requirements. Once the repairs are completed, Two Rivers will begin the permitting process to either completely rehabilitate the existing dam or construct a new roller-compacted concrete dam. The expected storage of the rehabilitated or new dam is in excess of 41,000 acre feet.
