Looking for water right documents?

We have a new online portal

We are streamlining how we post water right documents and decisions. Our new online portal has most documents in one location for each of our four regions – Northwest, Southwest, Central, and Eastern. 

Each new page shows:

  • Recently accepted water right applications, both for new rights and changes

  • Draft and final water right decisions

  • Trust water right applications and decisions

In addition to a posting page, and a comment form, each region has an email sign up list – to receive notice when a document is posted on the region page.

Documents are posted as required by law or for increased transparency. Water right applications are posted for awareness, draft decisions are posted for review and public comment, and final decisions are posted for an appeal period. A link to the recently updated Environmental & Land Use Hearings Office website is provided when a decision may be appealable.
