How do I find out who owns the ditch on my property?
If you are a member of a homeowners' association, they may be able to provide or retrieve that information for you. The information may also appear in the records associated with your property's title insurance. The Colorado Division of Water Resources may also be able to assist you. That office may be contacted by calling 970-945-5665. Odds are, the ditch is owned and operated by a ditch company that represents several water users.
