Mocking Bird 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
Mocking Bird Ditch is the structure Colorado DWR identifies as WDID 4500694. The first two digits, 45, are Water District 45 (Divide Creek), in Division 5, the Colorado River basin. Its call is on Cache 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 3, 1906, administration number 20515.13722) 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?.
