MONTANA TWENTY-FIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, RAVALLI COUNTY
CITIZENS FOR FAIR WATER, INC., a Montana non-profit,
Plaintiff and Petitioner,
vs.
BITTER ROOT IRRIGATION DISTRICT, a public corporation,
Defendant and Respondent.
CAUSE NO. DV-15-382/75
DEPT. NO.1
NOTICE OF PENDING LITIGATION TO WATER USERS AND LANDOWNERS IN THE BITTER ROOT IRRIGATION DISTRICT
Notice is hereby given to all interested parties that the above captioned case is pending in the Montana Twenty-First Judicial District, Ravalli County, Montana. The Plaintiff, Citizens for Fair Water, Inc. a Montana non-profit public-benefit corporation, has filed a complaint/petition for a declaratory judgment determining that the Defendant, Bitterroot Irrigation District (“BRID”), is the sole owner of the Three Mile Gravity Irrigation System (the System), is responsible for the continued maintenance of the System, and that no private irrigation entity was formed to own and operate the System. The Defendant, BRID, has denied the claims for relief in the complaint, raised certain affirmative defenses, and filed a counterclaim against the Plaintiff asking the court to declare that BRlD is not the owner of the System, that BRID’s obligation as financial sponsor ended upon repayment of financing obligations for the System, and that the users of the System are the owners of the System and are responsible for operation and maintenance of the System upon repaying of the financing obligations for the System. Plaintiff has denied the counterclaim.
The case is now pending before the District Court. Plaintiff and Defendant have filed cross motions for summary judgment. Each party has requested the court grant the relief it has sought, which could affect your legal rights. Therefore, this notice is being given to allow all interested parties an opportunity to review the matters pending before the court and, should any interested party deem it appropriate, to intervene or otherwise appear in this matter in accordance with the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure. Appearances should be filed with the Office of the Ravalli County Clerk of Court, no later than 21 days from the last date of the publication of this notice.
A complete copy of all documents filed in this case are available for viewing at the Office of the Ravalli County Clerk of Court, which is located at 205 Bedford Street, Hamilton, Montana, 59840.
