Show STATE ENGINEER ORDERS IRRIGATION WELLS CLOSED State Engineer Wayne D. Criddle has proclaimed the closing of wells diverting water from underground sources beginning be-ginning with Dec. 1, J963, and ending April 1, 1964, as provided pro-vided by law. All persons owning, own-ing, or having control of, any artesian or pump well or wells are required to close by plug, cap, valve or other mechanical device or by repairs all wells except those providing water for beneficial use. Beneficial use during the above period does not include irrigation. It is also provided that modification modifica-tion of said order may be granted upon showing to the State Engineer that a compliance compli-ance therewith will cause partial par-tial or complete failure of the well. |
