Ouray Park Irrigation Company
Ouray Park Irrigation Company (OPIC) was organized in the early 1900's to provide irrigation water to the area around Pelican Lake through a system of storage reservoirs and distribution canals. Over the last forty years, OPIC has dramatically improved its distribution sytem by replacing the canals with pipelines which have resulted in a dramatic water savings.
Ouray Park Irrigatioin Company provides irrigation water from five resources:
Ouray Park Irrigation Company delivers irrigation water to three areas:
- Leota Bench (3,000 acres)
- Cottonwood (3,750 acres)
- Pelican Lake (5,250 acres)
Water for the Leota Bench is diverted from the Whiterocks River and flows over 30 miles through a new pipeline constructed between Cottonwood Reservoir and Brough Reservoir as well as through the Whiterocks/Ouray Valley Canal to Brough Reservoir.
Over the past several years the UWCD has obtained funding from the Colorado River Salinity Control Program and has installed over 25 miles of pipeline in the area below Cottonwood Reservoir (West Side Combined Canal Salinity Project-WSCCSP). This project replaced seven canals (55 miles) with pipeline, including the Moffat Canal and most of the Ouray Park Canal and more recently, the pipeline mentioned above connecting Cottonwood Reservoir and Brough Reservoir.
