Fight HB2124 that encourages over-pumping of groundwater


This legislative session is finally nearing an end...thankfully. This year has seen so many bad water bills! 

HB2124 is scheduled for a vote in the House of Representatives, likely Wednesday.

HB2124 agricultural operations; water; protection; definition (Smith) would punish plaintiffs for filing suits against someone who is using too much groundwater or taking another user's water by reclassifying those suits as "nuisance lawsuits" and requiring them to pay lawyers fees. This would make it much harder to prevent deep-pocketed large agricultural water users from taking too much water. 

Ask House Members to Oppose HB2124 that benefits big groundwater pumpers to the detriment of small homeowners, farmers, and individual businesses.
