Colorado Revised Statutes Section 37-92-302(3)(a), regarding publication of water resumes:

(3)(a) Not later than the fifteenth day of each month, the water clerk shall prepare a resume of all applications in the water division which have been filed in his office during the preceding month. The resume shall give the name and address of the applicant, a description of the water right or conditional water right involved, and a description of the ruling sought. The resume may be provided by the applicant at the time of filing the application or at the time of any republication pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection (3), or, if no resume is provided, the water clerk shall prepare the resume for publication. The water clerk shall promptly submit to each applicant a bill for costs incurred by the water court in publishing the resume of the application. No ruling or decree shall be entered prior to payment of the charges.

(b) Not later than the end of such month, the water clerk shall cause such publication to be made of each resume or portion thereof in a newspaper or newspapers as is necessary to obtain general circulation once in every county affected, as determined by the water judge. If at the request of or as the result of amendments made by an applicant the resume of an application is republished, the applicant shall pay the cost of such republication.

(c)(I) Not later than the end of such month, the referee or the water clerk shall mail a copy of such resume to each person whom the referee has reason to believe would be affected, including, at a minimum, the persons listed in each application as the owner or reputed owner of the land upon which any structure is or will be located, upon which water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use, and to each person who has requested a copy of such resume by submitting his or her name and address to the water clerk. The water clerk shall maintain a mailing list of such names and addresses so submitted, and persons desiring to have their names and addresses retained on such list must resubmit the same by January 5. Persons who have not so resubmitted their names and addresses shall not be retained on such list, but they may submit their names and addresses at any time thereafter for inclusion on the list subject to the foregoing. In order to obtain a copy of a resume for a particular month, a person's name and address must be received not later than the fifth day of the month of publication of the resume. A fee of twelve dollars shall be payable for inclusion on the mailing list for a calendar year prorated at one dollar per month for a lesser period. A copy of the resume shall be furnished without charge to the state engineer and the appropriate division engineer.

(II) Notwithstanding the amount specified for the fee in subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (c), the ground water commission by rule or as otherwise provided by law may reduce the amount of the fee if necessary pursuant to section 24-75-402(3), C.R.S to reduce the uncommitted reserves of the fund to which all or any portion of the fee is credited. After the uncommitted reserves of the fund are sufficiently reduced, the ground water commission by rule or as otherwise provided by law may increase the amount of the fee as provided in section 24-75-402(4), C.R.S .

(d) All publications provided for in paragraph (b) of this subsection (3) may be augmented, in the discretion of the water judge, by notices broadcast over any or all standard radio, FM radio, TV stations, and cable television. Such broadcast notices shall make reference to locations or publications wherein details of the subject matter of the notices are located.
