Not in state DB
This water right does not appear in California's eWRIMS database. The holder likely has not filed a Statement of Diversion and Use with the State Water Resources Control Board. Pre-1914 rights are only in eWRIMS if holders voluntarily filed — many have not, making these rights less visible to the state.
Uncertain Fields
- Range: Range not clearly legible in the text
- Size Inches: Text says 'one hundred and fifty (150) inches measured under a four inch pressure'
