2529
. (a) Within 60 days after the date by which claimants to
rights to the water of the stream system are required to notify the
board in writing of their intention to file proof of claim, the board
shall prepare and file for record, in the office of the county
recorder of each county in which any part of the stream system is
situated, a notice setting forth all of the following facts:
(1) The order has been entered and the proceedings are pending.
(2) Information regarding the status of the proceedings may be
obtained from the board.
(3) The proceedings will result in a determination of the rights
to water of the stream system.
(4) Any claimant who fails to appear and submit proof of his or
her claim as provided in this chapter shall be held to have forfeited
all rights to water previously claimed by him or her on the stream
system, other than as provided in the decree, unless entitled to
relief under the laws of this state.
(5) At the conclusion of the proceedings, the superior court will
enter a decree determining the water rights appurtenant to each
parcel identified in the notice, including the specific parcel
against which this notice appears, and the decree may accord the
claimant for that parcel water rights which are different from those
he or she has claimed.
(b) The notice shall identify the current owners of each parcel
that appears to be riparian to the stream system or to which water is
diverted from the stream, and shall be recorded in a manner so that
anyone researching the title of a parcel will find the notice.
(c) If the board subsequently identifies an additional parcel or
parcels which appear to be riparian to the stream system or to which
water is diverted from the stream, the board shall prepare and file
for record a supplementary notice identifying the current owners of
the additional parcels. The supplementary notice shall be recorded in
the same manner as the original notice.
