§ 1397 Water Use Compliance Deadline

• •You must finish the work on time, as stated in your permit.
• •You have to use the water the right way, following the rules in your permit.
• •If you don’t follow the rules or finish on time, you could get in trouble.

A farmer gets a permit to build a ditch to water his crops.

The permit says he has one year to finish the ditch and must use the water only for his crops. If he takes two years or uses the water for something else, like filling a pool, he breaks the rules.
