Contract Term

Ten (10) years from the date the State Engineer approves the District’s first temporary change application

Renewal Info

Lease term is ten years from the first State Engineer approval of a temporary change application, after which the leased water automatically reverts to the District; the agreement may be modified or renewed only by a written, signed amendment. Either party may terminate earlier if the State Engineer rejects or conditions the temporary change application unacceptably or during an unsatisfactory evaluation, and the District may terminate if Baxter overuses water before paying the annual allocation fee.
