“All is not well when it comes to water court,” said John Meininger, an attorney who represents irrigation well owners along the South Platte River. Some of his clients, he said, have been waiting five years for a final decision.
Meininger’s comments came at a public hearing designed to gather information on where problems lie within Colorado’s water court system. The Colorado Supreme Court is conducting an eight-month review of the system after a task force appointed last summer by Gov. Bill Ritter asked it to do so. A final report is due Aug. 1.
