We've been working with the ditch company and with the Blehm Water Association to ensure that we continue to get our water once we're not in the Blehm subdivision any longer. John Baum, the president of the Blehm Water Association, was ok with us staying in the organization to manage our water. That is good.
The ditch company (John Moen) has been telling us all along that he really doesn't care what we do with our private laterals.
I've wondered why JR Engineering put the ditch company signature on the plat drawings, but probably because there are ditch easements on our property. That's fine.
We got a comment on our submission to the city from Gene Fischer, the ditch company attorney that they would need a $500 review fee. Yikes. Just to look at the drawings and sign something that doesn't affect them in any way. In addition to the fee, we have to have a letter from our engineer stating that the ditch head gate is not on our property and that the property is serviced by private laterals. Ugh.
I wonder where the head gate is? We should probably find out. Which reminds me, our water is coming soon. We haven't heard from John Baum about when exactly and which days we have to put water on our pasture. Miles met with a friend, JD, who has ditch water so he could give us advice as to how to get our water on the back part of the pasture. We don't want to raise our ground water level on the portion that we plan to build the house on.
