Relating to the authority of the Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District to regulate certain wells.

HB 3115 restricts the Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District’s authority over certain wells. It prohibits the district from requiring domestic or livestock wells (already exempt from permitting) to install meters, selling groundwater outside the district, or supplying water to municipalities or utilities without their consent. The bill directly affects well owners using water for household or animal needs, the district itself, and local municipalities or utilities. These changes limit the district’s regulatory power while preserving existing water use exemptions and municipal water rights.
