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
- Section: Section number partially illegible
- Township: Township/Range not clearly stated
- Source Name: Name very hard to read — 'Alfurige Valley Spring Branch' or similar
