WILL BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that this fall,

September through November, staff from the

Nevada Division of Water Resources (NDWR),

Office of the State Engineer in Carson City,

NV will be inspecting permitted water wells for

compliance with State Engineer’s Order No.

1251. This order required totalizing meters

to be installed and maintained by February

1st, 2016. Staff will visit all permitted water

wells, excluding domestic wells, stockwater

wells, and wells permitted for 5.0 afa or

less. This order further requires quarterly

reporting of direct monthly totalizer readings

for all subject water rights. The purpose for

requiring totalizing meters, and subsequent

data reporting, is to accurately determine

the amount of groundwater pumped within

the Humboldt River Region, which will assist

with the goal of protecting the region’s limited

water resources. The order requires water

right owners to file a ‘Totalizing Meter’ form,

which can be obtained from the NDWR

website at water.nv.gov, under Form 7001F,

or by emailing metersupport@water.nv.gov.

The mission of NDWR is to responsibly

manage Nevada’s limited water resources in

accordance with State law and best available

science. Visit the Division’s website at water.
