DWR Guidance
IM WSP was established to provide an alternate choice for water well augmentation. The following information is from the Colorado Division of Water Resources (DWR) which is intended to provide background and the importance of water augmentation. There is also guidance for owners of DECREED WELLS wishing to participate in WSP.
To enroll, transfer, or modify your well permit, please visit the WSP Forms Page.

For DECREED WELLS – You must have your decreed water rights amended to move to WSP. If you well has a prior individual rights decree associated with it, the case number will be on the first page of your well permit information on the Division of Water Resources website: https://dwr.state.co.us/Tools/WellPermits.
Under “Feature Type”, it will say “Decreed” and give the case number (This is a number other than the old IM Augmentation Plan #W-7389). Most wells are not decreed. However, if you have a decreed well, the decree must be amended for you to move to WSP.
IM WSP is not responsible for this change. The action is between you and the Division of Water Sources and the Water Court. If you have a decreed well, please see the additional documents in the links below. There is a letter from the Division of Water Resources explaining your options, the required form for your completion, and a template on how to complete your form. The template has been provided as a guide for your convenience. You must complete the actual form yourself. Upon completion and approval, you can file as a New Enrollee using the links on the WSP Forms Page.
