Whatcom Superior Court WRIA 1 Water Adjudication Summons

Recently, the Washington State Department of Ecology sent a summons to all users of surface or groundwater within the Nooksack Watershed to file a claim verifying their legal right to use water. Upon receipt of this summons, we have heard from many concerned LISECC members seeking clarification on how to respond to the summons.

For the purposes of the adjudication, Lummi Island is identified as being within the Nooksack Watershed. Anyone who has a private well or uses surface water on their properties must enter a claim and document their right to water usage and submit date on how much water they are using. However, if your property is connected to the LISE Water System and that is your only source of water, you do not need to respond to the summons or file a claim.

The responsibility for responding to the summons rests with LISECC, and any necessary actions will be taken on behalf of the entire membership. There is no need for members to take any personal action or submit any responses. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the adjudication, please feel free to contact the board directly using the email address board@lisecc.com.

We appreciate your cooperation and will continue to keep you informed of any developments, as necessary.
