Colorado Revised Statutes Title 34. Mineral Resources § 34-48-111. Right of eminent domain

All persons or corporations shall pay due and just compensation for rights-of-way to the owners of the property through which it is proposed to construct any flume, ditch, pipeline, or conduit or upon which any reservoirs shall be located. When the parties cannot agree upon such right-of-way or reservoir site or the amount of compensation to be paid therefor, all such persons or corporations are vested with the power of eminent domain and are authorized to proceed to acquire such rights-of-way for flumes, ditches, pipelines, conduits, and reservoir sites, in the manner provided by law for the exercise of the right of eminent domain.
