Stop Wasting Water Fracking During Disaster Drought Conditions & Grow Colorado's Economy
Why is this important?
As a business owner in Steamboat Springs, I understand that our city's economy (and much of CO economy) is dependent on 2 things: Tourism and Ranching.
After one of the worst snow years in almost a century, I was shocked to learn ranchers that would typically buy water rights were out bid by companies that will use the water for fracking. Until now ranchers were able to purchase water to maintain their land and heard which provides an economic benefit directly to the community and helps drive tourism by keeping the water above ground to cycle back through the environment.
We're asking for the state to put the economy first by immediately enacting a bill that will stop the sale of water rights for fracking during drought disaster conditions.
