We want to clarify the article about water rights that appeared in the Coeur d'Alene Press on Saturday, Dec. 10. In the article, the reporter stated that 'every property owner in the Panhandle region should receive a notification to file a claim for their water rights.' This is not accurate. We want to assure the public that unless residents are located in the geographic region where the Clark Fork — Pend Oreille River Basin Adjudication is occurring (primarily Bonner County), they won't be getting a notice from IDWR about claiming their water rights.
