Idaho State District Court Issues Temporary Restraining Order that Forestalls Historic Curtailment Order Affecting Agriculture and Municipalities
Idaho Ground Water Appropriators, Inc., et al. v. Idaho Department of Water Resources, et al.

Fifth District Judge Jon K. Butler issued a restraining order on May 8, 2007, temporarily forestalling the potential drying up of over 33,000 acres of crop lands and the reduction of water supplies for dairies, food processing plants, and municipalities. A hearing was set for May 30, 2007, to determine whether the Idaho Department of Water Resources’ proposed curtailment order will take effect.
