MCWRA Letter to State Water Board – Curtailments/Water Rights
June 28, 2014
The Mountain Counties Water Resources Association (MCWRA) sent a letter to the State Water Resources Control Board expressing its concern over recent and pending State Water Resources Control Board curtailment actions. The letter calls for the State Board to immediately develop a process to determine on a watershed-by-watershed, water-right-by-water-right basis where curtailments are necessary and where diversions may continue or resume. The letter also states that the State Board must not lose sight of its concurrent obligation to honor the existing water code, including area of origin laws and the core principles of priority and regional self-sufficiency.
