State law requires that each district "shall maintain, for public inspection at its offices during normal hours, a current list showing the names, counties of residence, and expiration dates of the terms of each member of the district's board of directors."

It should be noted that the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District has its offices in Greeley, a long ways from Central Colorado.
