History: The Welby Jacob Water Users Company was organized by the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy about 12 years ago. They purchased 40,000 acre feet of Utah Lake water and traded it to the better quality water in the Provo River. The Provo River water would run low in the late summer. The water users got a poorer quality water but they got a more consistent supply that would be there through the entire summer. The water is pumped out of the river in the Jordan Narrows into the Welby Jacob ditch system and the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy pays for the cost of pumping. The area south in Utah County has Jacob water stock and the area north in Salt Lake County has Welby water stock.

April 4, 2000 Richard Gapmeyer gave me the following information:
Welby Jacobs Irrigation: $500 to $1200/Sh/ 1AF/Sh = $500 to $1200/Sh

The information that he was giving me was in generalities and not to be relied on without additional sales information.

June 2000 A water investor offering $1000 per share. A water dealer is asking $1800 per share. The Irrigation Company will buy it back for $500/Sh.
