Rocky Ford Irrigation Company v. Kents Lake Reservoir Company
**NOTE - This decision was withdrawn by the Utah Supreme Court and replaced with an amended decision.
The Utah Supreme Court recently issued its decision in the case of Rocky Ford Irrigation Company v. Kents Lake Reservoir Company. The case focuses on the issues of water efficiency savings, impairment of others' water rights, and obligations to measure water diversions.
Rocky Ford and Kents Lake are two irrigation companies on the Beaver River system. Both irrigation companies have various direct flow water rights and storage water rights with varying priority dates. In 1931, the Fifth District Court issued the Beaver River Decree, which divided the Beaver River system into an upper portion and a lower portion. Upper water users were allowed to divert water prior to lower water users, despite a later priority date, in part because the lower water users benefitted from return flows from the upper water users' flood irrigation. The Decree also required that all points of diversion be equipped with measuring devices.
In the 1930s and 1940s, Kents Lake filed applications with the State Engineer to construct Three Miles Reservoir in the upper portion of the Beaver River system. Rocky Ford protested the applications, but the State Engineer ultimately approved the applications. In 1953, Rocky Ford and Kents Lake entered into an agreement in which Rocky Ford agreed not to protest future change applications associated with Three Mile Reservoir, and Kents Lake agreed not to oppose Rocky Ford's expansion of its reservoir located in the lower portion of the Beaver River system. Kents Lake later filed a change application, and Rocky Ford did not protest it. Kents Lake later certificated this change application with the State Engineer.
Beginning in the 1970s, Beaver River water users began converting from flood irrigation to sprinkler irrigation. Rocky Ford alleged that it was being harmed due to the reduced return flows from upper water users and due to Kents Lake storing the "saved" water from the efficiency gains in its reservoir. In 2010, Rocky Ford filed a lawsuit against Kents Lake alleging water right interference, conversion of water rights, and negligence. Rocky Ford asserted that its water rights had been impaired by the actions of Kents Lake, including the storage change application and the failure to measure water diversions. Following a trial, the district court ruled in favor of Kents Lake. Rocky Ford then appealed the case to the Utah Supreme Court.
The Court first reviewed Rocky Ford's claims of impairment. The Court determined that even though Kents Lake had filed change applications in the 1950s, the water rights retained their (much earlier) original priority dates. And the Court rejected the "hybrid priority approach" that the priority date of the change applications is relevant to impairment, but the original priority is relevant to distribution. The Court then determined that parties cannot "claim impairment in perpetuity" and that "an impairment claim must be raised during the protest period before the State Engineer." Interestingly, the Court also implied that impairment protests can and should be raised at the proof stage, despite the fact that there is no public notice or protest period when proofs are filed or certificates are issued. Based on these determinations, the Court concluded that Rocky Ford had "failed to participate in any administrative proceedings" and therefore cannot claim impairment now.
The Court next examined whether Kents Lake is allowed to store the water it saves through increased irrigation efficiency. The Court determined that the lower water users "have no claim on runoff before it reenters the stream" and therefore "have no claim against upper water users requiring them to create a return flow." Based on these determinations, the Court concluded that "Rocky Ford has no claim to Kents Lake's efficiency gains."
The Court next examined Kents Lake's obligations to measure its water diversions. Kents Lake asserted--and the district court had agreed--that even though Kents Lake did not measure all of its diversions, it was compliant because it did all measuring required by the State Engineer. But the Court noted that both Utah law (Utah Code section 73-5-4) and the Beaver River Decree require Kents Lake to measure all of its diversions. Thus, the Court reversed the district court on this point.
The Court finished its opinion by determining that the district court had properly concluded that the 1953 Agreement between Rocky Ford and Kents Lake should not be rescinded, and determining that the district court had erred in granting an award of attorney fees to Kents Lake.

Metropolitan Water District v. Sorf
The Utah Supreme Court recently issued its decision in the case of Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy v. Sorf. The primary issue in the case was enforcement of easement rights associated with a water pipeline.
Metropolitan Water District owns and operates the Salt Lake Aqueduct, a large pipeline that transports water from Deer Creek Reservoir to the Salt Lake City area. The District owns some of the land along the course of the Aqueduct and has easements along other parts of the course of the Aqueduct. Zdenek Sorf is the owner of a parcel of land that the Aqueduct crosses, and in 1946, the then-owner of his land deeded a 125-foot wide easement for the Aqueduct. The District passed regulations controlling use of the Aqueduct easements by the landowners, including a prohibition on the construction of structures or the planting of trees within the easement areas.
Mr. Sorf made improvements to his property within the boundaries of the District's easement. These improvements included a hot tub, a gazebo, garden boxes, a water feature, and a shed. The District filed a lawsuit seeking to enjoin Mr. Sorf from making any more improvements within the easement area and to allow the District to remove the existing improvements. Mr. Sorf asserted that the case was not yet "ripe" because the District had no current plans to repair, replace, or reconstruct the Aqueduct across Mr. Sorf's property, and that his improvements were not interfering with the District's current operation of the Aqueduct. The district court agreed and dismissed the District's claims. The District appealed the case to the Utah Supreme Court.
The Court began its decision by noting that a dispute is ripe "when a conflict over the application of a legal provision has sharpened into an actual or imminent clash of legal rights and obligations of the parties thereto." The Court concluded that the easement dispute between the District and Mr. Sorf met this standard because the District had valid, deeded easement interests "to construct, reconstruct, operate and maintain" the Aqueduct. The Court noted that the district court had incorrectly focused on whether Mr. Sorf's improvements were interfering with the Aqueduct, and that the focus should have been on whether Mr. Sorf's improvements were interfering with the easement. Thus, the Court concluded that there was a "live dispute" that was ripe for judicial resolution.
In the end, the Court reversed the district court's dismissal and sent the case back to the district court because "the parties are both entitled to a determination of whether [Mr. Sorf's improvements] are permissible, and if not, a determination of the proper remedy."
