I'm pretty sure both towns have most of the water rights (in the ground or on top of it) in that state.
The US government will lose in court!
Almost exactly the L.O.S.T. UN Treaty
Control, control, control..............the ultimate agenda of any government. Unless it's nipped in the bud, we will lose all our freedoms because some bumbling east coast bureaucrat looking for brownie points want to be in control.
There is a case that has been taken to the Supreme Court, or is at least at that level, that seeks to turn over control of ALL water in the state of WA to the Indians. The environmentalists started this, encouraging the tribes to push for more and more control of wetlands and streams and finally wells, and finally control of all water that is not specifically deeded by the state in contracts that pre-date the Indian treaties. The lefty Greens were even doing the legal work for the tribes, until they realized that the tribes intended to take this very seriously and that it would be a terrible election issue for the Greens if the tribes won. The lefty legislators even passed regulations that said that (in some districts) it is illegal to place cisterns or rain barrels on your own property to catch the rain, without a permit from DNR and the dept of resources. The reason they gave was that if that rain were allowed to fall freely on the ground, it might run off, onto someone else’s property and wouldn’t be your water any longer.
The tribes lost in court, and in the court of appeals. They are now at the Supreme Court level. My guess is that Obama didn’t want this to go any further this year, not in an election year.

Agenda 21 at work in New Mexico
Ping to an item of interest. I’m a former resident of the state of NM, and have lots of friends and family there.
If you want to be on or off the Agenda 21 ping list, please notify me by Freepmail. It is a relatively low volume list in which we have been exploring the UN Agenda21 and related topics. We have collected our studies with threads, links, and discussions on the Agenda 21 thread which can be found here:

NEW ACTION THREAD:

Post 128 of the Action Thread is a summary of the history of Agenda 21, what they are doing, what to do about it and a good bibliography for further reading.
UN Agenda 21 so the evil empire can control where you live. We will soon be in city block houses or FIMA camps for reeducation.

New Mexico’s water rights are a mess. The last thing we need is the federal government making a bigger mess out of things. If it isn’t Texas trying to get our ground water, it is the commies at EPA.
