§ 4326 Water Association Expense Agreement

• •If all water rights owners in an area agree to form a group to manage water distribution costs, they can do so.
• •The group must write down how they will split the costs and who pays what.
• •The group must send a signed copy of their agreement to the department.
• •After that, the department will send water statements to the group instead of individual owners.

A group of farmers who share water from the same river decide to work together to pay for the water they use.

They write an agreement saying how much each farmer will pay, sign it, and send it to the department. Now, the department sends the water bill to their group instead of each farmer separately.
