How to sell a share of irrigation water? I own one share (one acre/foot) of reservoir water (delivered via irrigation ditch). I don't need it, but everyone here in northern Colorado talks about how valuable water shares are. I want to sell it, and I've been wanting to sell it for a couple years, but I have no idea how to locate a buyer. Anyone have an idea? I've advertised in the local paper and the regional farming magazine. I've run ads on Craigslist. I've put up posters at the local co-ops and ranch stores. I've notified the ditch company. I've been told that these shares sell for $6,500. At this point I'd look at about any offer on it if I could just find an interested buyer.

Re: How to sell a share of irrigation water? Don't sell. Water WILL become very valuable in the coming years. JMO

Here is a website for a company that deals in water rights: http://www.waterbank.com/

Re: How to sell a share of irrigation water? You should check to make sure that you still have that share. In my state, it's use it or lose it. If you don't irrigate for a few years, then you lost your water rights permanently.

I have the physical stock certificate in my possession. It is one share of The Ish Reservoir Company. I also pay an annual maintenance fee of $90 to the ditch company. I know it will be worth a lot more in the future, but I need the cash right now to get going on homesteading. Since I'm moving from Colorado to Wisconsin I will never have a need for that share of water. Thanks for the link to waterbank... I'll look into it.
