Commissioner Bobbie Daniel on Shoshone Water Rights Agreement

On Dec. 19, 2023, at the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, a historic event took place that will define the future of Mesa County: Xcel Energy and the Colorado River District signed a purchase and sale agreement to transfer ownership of the Shoshone water rights to allow for the permanent protection of the most senior, non-consumptive water right on the Colorado River. 

Watch Mesa County Commissioner Bobbie Daniel deliver remarks at the event.
