The Department of Water Resources amended Ariz. Admin. Code 12.15.723, Assured and Adequate Water Supply. Changes allow the Director to restore a grandfathered irrigation right that was extinguished for assured water supply extinguishment credits during 2005, 2006, and 2007 if certain conditions are met. This allows landowners who extinguished their irrigation rights during the housing boom in anticipation of developing their land prior to the real estate market downturn to use their land for agricultural purposes.
