Can I move the ditch on my property?
If the ditch on your property belongs to you, you may move it so long as the relocation of the ditch has been approved by the State of Colorado Division of Water Resources and the relocation does not adversely affect other water users.

If the ditch does not belong to you, you may not move the ditch without prior approval from the owner of the ditch.
