Description
The Objector-Appellant, Public Service Company of Colorado (Public Service), appeals from a judgment and decree of the District Court, Water Division 1 (water court) granting an application by the Willows Water District (Willows) for an augmentation and reuse program for non-tributary ground water to recapture return flows resulting from the use of the water for irrigation purposes. We conclude that the water court did not err when it concluded that Willows distinguished the volumes of underground return flows of the nontributary ground water in terms of timing, location, and amount; that Willows retained "dominion" of the water after it had been used by district residents for domestic irrigation use; and that the evidence supports the water court's finding of non-injury. We also conclude that Public Service did not properly raise or preserve its evidentiary objection to the admission of Willows' engineering report. Accordingly, we affirm the order of the water court.
