Senate Bill 270 of the 79th Session (2017) Legislature was approved by Governor Sandoval on June 9, 2017. Pursuant to Section 1 of the bill, any claimant of a pre-statutory water right must submit proof of the water use to the State Engineer on or before December 31, 2027. If a claimant fails to submit such proof by that deadline, the claim is deemed abandoned. The form for filing proof of the water right may be obtained at http://water.nv.gov or by contacting the Nevada Division of Water Resources.
