Longer temporary water rights with new limits
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming allows temporary water-use rights for up to five years, up from two. Water use can be acquired by purchase, gift, or lease from an adjudicated or valid unadjudicated water right. The law removes the highway-work restriction and the State Transportation Commission’s exclusive authority to acquire this water use. Transfers must serve temporary beneficial purposes, and the State Engineer cannot approve transfers that harm others’ water rights. Applicants must request renewals before expiration; the State Engineer decides whether to approve each renewal of up to five years. Total time, including extensions, cannot exceed ten years for the same purpose and place of use. After an irrigation transfer ends, the right must return to its legally approved use before another temporary transfer. That use must last at least 50% of the total transfer period, including extensions.
