Use Location
Reservoir: lake bed and margin to 7 ft depth, SE 1/4 Sec 16 and SW 1/4 Sec 15 T41N R13E. Used continuously since April 1888. Ditch 4 ft wide, 2 ft deep to conduct water into reservoir. 1000 inches from water flowing upon Sec 15 and surrounding area.
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.
