State Database (eWRIMS)
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
- Size Inches: reads 'four hundred inches'
- Claimant Name: could be 'Groes' but 'Gross' more likely
