ANIMAS CONSOLIDATED DITCH

The Animas Consolidated Ditch Company was formed in 1899 for the purpose of furnishing irrigation water to the west side of the Animas Valley. The company owns approximately 93 cubic feet of water per second, taken from the Animas and Hermosa Rivers. There is no charge for this water as it comes from the rivers; all assessments defray the costs of maintaining the ditch, adjusting water flow, and company operations. Class A shares can be transferred from one owner to another only by surrendering the old share(s) certificate to the ditch board. Upon payment of a $300.00 transfer fee, a new certificate is issued. Class B shares are available from the ditch company at $1500.00 per share or through transfer, in which case a $300.00 transfer fee is required.
