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.

Notes: COWHEAD LAKE claim #17 — Geo. H. Ayres personal filing (previously appeared as Surprise Valley I&P Co. president). Same specifications as corporate claims: 26.5 ft depth, 5 billion cu ft, 40,000 inches, same tunnel scheme. BUT says 'southeast end' for tunnel — earlier claims said 'southwest end' — possible different diversion point or error. Witness Millie N. Ayres (wife or family member). Dated Oct 8, 1910. This is the first PERSONAL Cowhead Lake claim — all previous were corporate (Surprise Valley I&P Co.).
