Subdistrict No. 3 officially formed as a legal entity on March 27, 2017.  The Subdistrict No. 3 Board of Managers has completed the process of detailing the final Plan of Water Management and the Board of Directors of the District approved the Plan in June of 2018.  The Plan was then submitted to the State Engineer and he issued his approval of the Plan in August 2018. Please click below to view the State Engineer’s approval letter. The District Board held a hearing to adopt the Plan in September 2018 and the Board of Directors voted unanimously to adopt the Plan. No objections were received to either the State Engineer or District Board’s approvals and the Plan of Water Management is now final.

The Subdistrict's First Annual Replacement Plan was approved on May 1st, 2019.  Subdistrict No. 3 is now remedying injurious stream depletions occurring on the Conejos River, Alamosa River, and the Rio Grande.
