NOTICE TO LAND OWNERS ADJACENT TO PINE CREEK NO.1
ENLARGEMENT OF THE LEE DITCH
28 April 2009
Dear Land Owners:
The Pine Creek No. 1 Enlargement of the Lee Ditch, which runs through or is adjacent to your property, is owned by the Pine Creek Ditch Association. Included in this ownership is an easement on your property immediately adjacent to the ditch for the purposes of cleaning and maintaining the ditch. Some landowners do not understand that ditch rights extend beyond the banks of the ditch itself and construct improvements that encroach upon the easement area. This easement area extends for approximately fifty feet on each side of the bank of the ditch but may extend further where the ditch is above or on a slope. Excavation above or below the ditch which will endanger its integrity is not permissible even though such work may be more than fifty feet from the bank.
The Association does not permit encroachments onto its easement. If a landowner erects an improvement within the easement area that interferes with ditch access and cleaning, the Association must take legal action to force removal of that improvement. The Association prefers to be good neighbors and notify landowners to plan their developments such that there is no encroachment on the Lee Ditch easement.
If you have questions regarding these water rights or easement issues, please refer to the State of Wyoming EngineerÕs Office website at: http://seo.state.wy.us.
As a reminder, removal of water by individuals without legal water rights from the ditch by various means (pumps, siphons, ditches and various pipes) is illegal. The Pine Creek Ditch Association asks you to voluntarily remove any such equipment from the ditch as soon as possible.
Thank you for your cooperation. We invite you to contact us if you have any questions.
The Pine Creek Ditch Association
President - Paul C. Hagenstein
