Case Notes
Despite evidence that water use permit applicant violated this chapter, neither the water code nor the public trust precluded the commission on water resource management from allocating water to applicant to supply water to domestic end users from a delivery system that may not comply with this chapter; as this jurisdiction separately regulates water allocation and drinking water standards, and there was no discernable legislative intent to make water use permit applications subject to compliance with this chapter, violations of this chapter were not germane to a review of the propriety of water allocation under the water code and the public trust. 116 H. 481, 174 P.3d 320 (2007).
