Case Summary Citation
City of Helena v. Community of Rimini, 388 Mont. 1, 397 P.3d 1 (Mont. 2017).
Abstract
After twenty years of adjudication, the Montana Supreme Court affirmed the City of Helena’s right to 13.75 cfs from Ten Mile Creek, the city’s primary water source. The Court found a statute allowing cities and municipalities to exercise water rights that have gone through extended periods of nonuse did not need a retroactive clause.
