Section 1-3 - Lines of Authority

W.S. 41-3-603 provides that when called upon each hydrographer commissioner or water commissioner shall "divide, regulate and control the use of water of all streams within his district" according to the priority of lawfully established water rights. Actions of the various hydrographer commissioners or water commissioners may be appealed by injured persons to the division superintendents, whose decision may be appealed to the State Engineer. The decision of the State Engineer concerning an action or failure to act on the part of a hydrographer commissioner or water commissioner is a final administrative decision which may be appealed to the district court. In carrying out their duties, hydrographer commissioners or water commissioners and their assistants have the power to arrest offending persons.
