Two Rivers Executes Amended Water Supply Agreement Doubling Potential Supply for Development

DENVER, CO - (NewMediaWire) - September 21, 2017 - Two Rivers Water & Farming Company ("Two Rivers") (OTCQBTURV) and its subsidiaries, including Water Redevelopment Company ("Water Redev") announced today it has executed a second amendment to its water supply agreement with a real estate developer, Marksheffel-Woodmen Investments, LLC and Family Ranch Holdings, LLC, (together referred to as the "Developer"). 

This amendment further refines a water service agreement between Two Rivers and the Developer recorded on April 11, 2011. The key provision of this amendment increases the potential water tap demand from 5,000 taps to 10,000 taps. The pricing of the taps remains the same at $6,500 per tap. While dependent on the final engineering of the water system, it is anticipated that one acre foot of water will render three water taps.

These water taps will be supplied by the Orlando Reservoir and associated water rights, such as the Cucharas Valley Reservoir No. 5 Reservoir (the "Cucharas Reservoir"), pending reconstruction of the Cucharas Reservoir. It is planned that this system will include storage tanks and a pipeline connection between the Cucharas and the Orlando Reservoirs. Water will be delivered to the area of consumption in the Orlando Reservoir area which is just north of Walsenburg, Colorado. The key next step is to begin a change of use of the water from agriculture to municipal use through the Colorado Water Court.

"We are pleased to see our water supply to the Developer potentially double in size for the betterment of the local community. There is strong demand for municipal water in this area. The next step will be the change of use from agricultural use to municipal use. While it is hard to predict the success and length of time this change might take, we are hopeful for a favorable and quick change ruling since we are not moving the water outside of the local basin," commented Wayne Harding, CEO for Two Rivers.

Commented Lindsay Case, CVR Water Company manager, "This amendment will assist us in meeting expected demand of our development efforts and to neighboring communities."
