Grand Tunnel Ditch
A structure that has placed an administrative call in Division 5: its priority, its water source and whether it is calling now.
About this structure
Grand Tunnel Ditch is the structure Colorado DWR identifies as WDID 3900574. The first two digits, 39, are Water District 39 (Rifle/Elk/Parachute Creeks), in Division 5, the Colorado River basin. Its call is on Rifle Creek.
BasinMind first saw it on the division's active call list on October 3, 2026 and most recently on October 4, 2026.
What its call means
While its call is on, rights on the affected stretch that are junior to its priority (March 15, 1888, administration number 13954.00000) may be ordered to reduce or stop diverting until it is satisfied; senior rights keep diverting.
A WDID names a structure, not a water right: one ditch can hold several rights with different priorities, and the call is placed with one of them. More in What is a water call?, Is my ditch in priority? and What is a WDID?.
