Lyons Gaddis understands the complexities and challenges of water and real estate law. This case illustrates an important principle of building water projects: “It never gets easier.”

Commissioner districts are readjusted after each national census to
balance population among the districts. Based on the 2010 census, the
biggest changes are that a Larimer County portion of Windsor moves into
District 3 and LaPorte and the surrounding area move into District 1.
The downtown portion of Bellvue remains in District 2. The county at
large votes on commissioners, although each commissioner must live in
one of the three districts.
