蒙大拿屋主在法院裁决后丧失了假定的用水权,影响到12个分区。 Montana homeowners lose assumed water rights after court ruling, affecting 12 subdivisions.

蒙大拿州东海伦娜附近的红狐梅多斯分区的Prestige房屋所有者由于2024年的一项法院裁决,现在需要多阶段发展才能分享单一的水分配,因此国家取消了他们的假定用水权,因此他们面临不确定性。 Homeowners in the Prestige at Red Fox Meadows subdivision near East Helena, Montana, face uncertainty after the state revoked their assumed water rights due to a 2024 court ruling that now requires multi-phase developments to share a single water allocation. 位于Prestige的29所房屋现在必须在受先前法律裁决保护的相邻发展中与126块土地分享水源,因为他们的土地在祖传分配后又细分。 The 29 homes in Prestige must now share water with 126 lots in a neighboring development protected by prior legal rulings, as their land was subdivided after a grandfathered allocation. DNRC确认,全州有12个分区受到影响,包括Prestige在内的8个分区需要复杂的解决办法,如全水许可证或立法解决办法。 DNRC confirmed 12 subdivisions statewide are affected, with eight, including Prestige, needing complex solutions like full water permits or legislative fixes. 尽管2025年立法机构通过了一项防止今后出现问题的议案,但第二项为现有事态发展提供救济的法案失败了。 Though the 2025 Legislature passed one bill to prevent future issues, a second bill offering relief for existing developments failed. DNRC说,它只调查投诉时的用水情况,并且正在与立法者合作解决这一情况。 DNRC says it only investigates water use if a complaint is filed and is working with lawmakers to resolve the situation.
