Heading: Salmon River Water Rights

Text: In 1966, James also applied for a water right to pump water from the Salmon River to irrigate 130 acres, including the Killgore-Mullinix parcel. In 1981, the IDWR issued James a water right license, No. 79-2094, to divert 1.5 cfs from the Salmon River for beneficial use to irrigate 130 acres. In 1988, Killgore filed a notice of claim to water right No. 79-2094 with the SRBA court to divert 1.5 cfs of water from the Salmon River to 130 acres for the beneficial use of irrigation. In 2002, Killgore applied to transfer the point of diversion for water right No. 79-2094, which was approved by the IDWR. 3. Killgore’s Horseshoe Bend Estates Water Rights In 2007, certain lot owners of Killgore’s Horseshoe Bend Estates filed applications to transfer water rights to their lots from Killgore. Killgore objected, and the IDWR did not approve the transfer. Some of these owners have irrigation agreements with Killgore, but not all of the owners receive water from Killgore’s pipeline.
