Colorado Supreme Court Finds Conditional Water Right Owners Should Not Lose Rights without Proper Notice of the Impending Cancellation
In Re Water Rights of Double RL Co., 54 P.3d 908 (Colo. 2002).

The Colorado Supreme Court held that the District Court for Water Division 4 may not cancel a conditional water right without first providing the water rights owner notice of the cancellation as required by Section 37-92-305(7), 10 C.R.S. (2002), even where the conditional water right holder fails to file a timely application for finding of reasonable diligence.
