Summit County, Denver Water and others sign historic agreement

Summit County and it's communities have come to an historic agreement concerning water rights in the upper Colorado River Basin.  This agreement halps all Summit County Communities including Breckenridge, Keystone, Frisco, Silverthorne and Dillon by ending disputes over water rights and usage.  It also requires Denver Water to keep Lake Dillon at a certain minimum level except in the case of extreme drought and maintain Blue River flows above certain levels except in cases of extreme drought.

So what does this mean to the Breckenridge Real Estate Investor?  As with Breckenridge goes the other communities in Summit County.  This agreement also firms up usage of water for snowmaking at Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain and Arapahoe Basin.  This helps to ensure good snow for visitors to Summit County and protects your Summit County Real Estate Investment by ensuring skier visits remain high.  Also for the summertime, river flows and lake levels are important to the rafting and boating contingents and help maintain a year round tourist business.
