ACEQUIA MADRE DEL XXXXX. The Acequia Madre del Xxxxx and the Pueblo shall reestablish the ditch so that it is able to serve the Xxxxxxx Tract and reconnect with the Acequia del Medio del Xxxxx. The ditch shall be further restored through the Xxxxxxx Tract, so that tail waters will be drained to the Acequia Madre de la Loma del Ranchito de Abajo. The Acequia is responsible for specifying the location of the reestablished ditch with respect to non-Pueblo lands. The Pueblo shall pay 60% of costs associated with equipment, materials, and labor for the reconstruction and the Acequia shall pay 40% of those costs. The Pueblo shall contribute annually to future ditch maintenance and repair by providing labor or payment. Such contribution shall be in proportion to its acreage irrigated under the ditch and calculated at the same rate that would apply to non-Indian ditch users. Pueblo irrigation from this ditch shall be in accordance with this Settlement Agreement and included in, without discrimination, the irrigation rotation schedule of the Acequia Madre del Xxxxx. This provision resolves all outstanding issues between the Pueblo and the Acequia regarding ditch maintenance and repairs.
