Reservoir pool
- Reservoir pool (USGS NHD, name-matched)
This company's verified reservoir pool lies in Weld;larimer;jackson;grand County, on Cache La Poudre River. Irrigated parcels are not linked for this company, so no footprint is shown.
The shaded pool is the water body this company's reservoir structure impounds, as mapped in the USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), name-matched to the DWR structure record and reviewed by DitchBook — mapping-grade, not a survey. The state's WDID is the control point — the dam or outlet, marked by the pin — not the water. A published match says DWR names this company for that structure; it does not say who owns the water body or the land beneath it. Shown for 7 of 12 reviewed structures. This company has no state-mapped irrigated-parcel footprint on file, so none is shown here. Satellite imagery is available via the map's Satellite/Map toggle, courtesy of USDA/USGS (The National Map), public domain. Boundaries are the state's, drawn to locate the land, not to settle it.

Water court activity
- 2026CW3083 (Water Division 1, May 2026 resume watch) — THE WATER SUPPLY AND STORAGE COMPANY, P.O. Box · court's resume
“…CASE NUMBER 2026CW3083 THE WATER SUPPLY AND STORAGE COMPANY, P.O. Box 2017, Fort Collins, CO 80522-2017, Attn: Eric Wes…”
These mentions come from automated name-matching of Colorado's seven water courts' monthly résumés against the census: the automated matcher found the company's name in the filing's raw text under strict rules: every word of the registered name, in order, with only spaces or commas between them — matching is case-insensitive, treats “&” and “and” as the same, treats punctuation inside the registered name (hyphens, apostrophes, periods) as word breaks, and ignores a leading “The” — never a fuzzy match. When the registered name ends in a legal-form word, that word is required too (“Park Ditch Company” requires the word “Company”; a bare “Park Ditch” mention can never trigger it) — with one abbreviation family: where the name ends in “Association” or “Assn”, the filing may use any of “Association”, “Assn”, or “Assoc”. Beyond that, the matcher's remaining guards only ever remove listings, never add them. Methodology: how the résumé matching works. A mention is a fact about the filing's text, not a judgment about how the case affects the company — see the full resume watch for what's been found, and water court records in the land-buyer guide for what a filing can mean and the statutory response window. Confirm with the company's officers and the court record before relying on this list.

DitchBook is not affiliated with The Water Supply And Storage Company. This page is a public-record profile compiled from Colorado Secretary of State and public water-district data.
A mutual ditch or reservoir company is a nonprofit corporation formed under Colorado law — most commonly C.R.S. Title 7, Article 42 — so that landowners who share an irrigation ditch, canal, or reservoir can jointly own and operate it. Instead of the water right belonging to a single person, shares in the company represent each owner's proportional claim, and the company's board and secretary keep the ledger, run assessments for maintenance, and issue certificates the way any small corporation would. Many of these companies have operated continuously since the 1880s, run entirely by volunteer officers who inherit the books from whoever kept them before.
Buying or selling land with shares in The Water Supply And Storage Company?
Ditch shares are corporate stock — they don't transfer with the deed, and under C.R.S. § 7-42-104 unpaid assessments follow the shares to the new owner as a lien. The plain-English walkthrough — including what the standard Colorado contract does and doesn't protect — is at Ditch shares at closing on Water Rights Colorado, a guide site from DitchBook's operator.
