HB0002 - Disposition of water rights
This appears to be coming from the Wyoming State Board of Controls and Senator Hicks to address “orphaned water rights”. Mainly this is related to irrigation and that water being attached to land to be subdivided. When subdivision occurs and there are not ditch or pipeline easement to get the water to the properties each lot can’t legally get water. I guess they are trying to get something that says you either get water to each property or the water right needs to be dealt with. We also believe a few options for the subdivider exist: 1. Abandon the water right. 2. Detach the water right which eventually will mean loss of the right after some time. 3 Give water and rights to the new lots with easements and such. 4 Move the right to somewhere else (including city or town).
