The exact price of water cannot be known until final cost allocations for the Animas La Plata Project are complete, which is estimated to be in 2012; however, current purchase estimates are approximately $3,000 per acre-foot plus annual operation and maintenance. The board has expressed interest to the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) and has requested information regarding purchasing ALP water. The CWCB has responded and negotiations will ensue.
