If you would like to be included as an interested person for one or more of the proposed transfer(s) and receive notice(s) of the petition(s) directly, please send an email request with “Temporary Transfer Interested Person” in the Subject line to WaterRightPetitions@
- An email address to be used as your point of contact,
- The permit(s) or license(s) for which you request notice of a petition for temporary transfer, and
