Description of Pure Cycle
We are a vertically integrated water company, which means we own all assets necessary to provide wholesale water and wastewater services to our customers. This includes owning (i) water rights which we use to provide domestic and irrigation water to our wholesale customers (we own surface water, groundwater, reclaimed water rights and water storage rights), (ii) infrastructure (such as wells, diversion structures, pipelines, reservoirs and treatment facilities) required to withdraw, treat, store and deliver water, (iii) infrastructure required to collect, treat, store and reuse wastewater, and (iv) infrastructure required to treat and deliver reclaimed water for irrigation use.

- 3,300 acre-feet of tributary surface water.
- 20,450 acre-feet of non-tributary and non-tributary groundwater rights.
- 26,000 acre-feet of adjudicated reservoir sites.
- Location: This water supply is primarily located in the southeast Denver metropolitan area, specifically at the Lowry Range, an expansive area owned by the State Board of Land Commissioners.
- Water Agreements: The company engages in several agreements to manage and operate water services in the area:
- Lease Agreements: Various lease agreements, most notably a 2014 Amended and Restated Lease Agreement with the Land Board, govern the use and management of the water supply.
- Export Water Agreements: Agreements that allow the exportation of non-tributary groundwater to meet nearby community water needs, ensuring a significant supply of water to other users outside the District.
- Service Agreements: The company has Service Agreements, which describe the provisions for delivering water and wastewater services to the District’s customers.
- Operations and Services: Pure Cycle is responsible for designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining water and wastewater systems, exclusively serving approximately 24,000 acres within the Lowry Range. Additionally, its empowered to provide wholesale water and wastewater services to external customers, which include governmental entities and commercial clients.

2. Wastewater Services
- Wastewater Treatment: Pure Cycle operates wastewater services as mandated by the Wastewater Service Agreement with the District. This includes the construction and management of wastewater facilities, ensuring the treatment and management of wastewater from the districts residents, commercial and governmental customers.
- Compliance and Management: The company adheres to environmental regulations and standards to ensure sustainable and responsible wastewater management practices.
3. Agricultural Operations and Leasing
- Agricultural Leasing: Since September 1, 2012, Pure Cycle has categorized its agricultural operations as a separate business segment. These operations include various leasing arrangements:
- Cash Leases: Approximately 78% of agricultural lands are leased for a fixed annual fee, billed semi-annually, maximizing revenue through predictable income streams.
- Crop Share Agreements: About 22% of the farming activities are managed under crop share leases where revenues from crop sales are shared between Pure Cycle and tenant farmers (75% for the farmer and 25% for the landlord).
- Crops Grown: Predominantly, alfalfa is cultivated, supplemented by corn, sorghum, and wheat.
4. Tap Participation Fee (TPF)
- Revenue from Tap Fees: The company agreed to pay a percentage of tap fees collected from new water service installations. Specifically, they owe 10% of the tap fees received from the first 40,000 taps sold following the Arkansas River Agreement. This fee structure is used as a form of financing to support ongoing water-related infrastructure developments.

This consolidation grants the corporation rights over approximately 13,900 acres of mineral interests, which are valued at about $1,425,500. These mineral rights could provide additional revenue streams through leasing or extraction, significantly complementing other business verticals.
