GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo.—Rafting companies can count on enough water to stay in business through Labor Day on the Colorado River near Glenwood Springs.

The Aspen Daily News says eleven water users have agreed to give up enough water to send enough water through Glenwood Canyon to keep the industry going.

The problem arose when The Shoshone hydroelectric plant had to be closed for repairs. Once it closed, existing regulations call for the water that would run through it to be shut down.

But rafters and others met with other water users with senior rights and persuaded them to allow enough water through the area to keep them in business.
