Teton River Distribution Project

The Teton River Distribution Project was created by 9th and 12th Judicial Districts Court for the 2017 irrigation season. Water users throughout the basin petitioned for the appointment of water commissioners in 2016. In its inaugural irrigation season, the project proved to be a success based on comments received from water users throughout the basin. Public meetings will be held in the October and November 2017 to address any and all issues that arise during the 2017 administrative effort.

This website is set up in a blog format. Chief Water Commissioner Peter Fritsch is authorized to post photos and comments on stream conditions, priority date cutoffs, etc. Water users may post questions to the blog that will be answered as quickly as possible. This website is an effort to create transparency and effective decision making on behalf of the Teton River Distribution Project.

Lower Teton River Petition to Appoint a Water Commissioner

Filed yesterday.

Zone 1 Petition to Appoint Water Commissioner

I am still working on my draft for Zones 2-5.  I hope the two petitions will be complimentary, not conflicting, but if anyone has any concerns or comments please don't hesitate to contact me or leave a comment to this post.
