HistoryClaimants for adjudication in 1884 were H.H. Miller and Leon Piquette. The 1936 adjudication claimants were the Denver View Reservoir & Irrigation Co. The reservoir is filled from Ralston Creek via Haines and Piquette Ditch. The 1884 adjudication awarded priority #17 on Ralston Creek dating back to May 10, 1869 and priority #2 as of date June 1, 1869. Work on enlargement began March 19, 1899. The Water District #7 reservoir is partially built on land once owned by T.F. Tucker.
