The water rights in the Beryl area may be retracted as there is not as much water being replenished as is being pumped. If your water right is dated after (I think) 1940 there is a good chance it may be rescinded at some point.
Anzalone wells is a good honest company, they show up when they say they will & do what they say they will.

Here is the latest on the water right issue.
Beryl/Enterprise Ground Water Managment Plan

Additionally, the State Engineer, Jerry Olds, has announced his retirement. Of course, no mention was made of issues relating to the Beryl/Enterprise Ground Water Management Plan.

I think there are no more issues. That clown was given a 3 million dollar budget to figure a way to conserve water that he had no idea if it needed conservation. It was a 8 month nightmare that apparently ended when the money did.

Aerorick, I agree. We attended several of the meetings, and talk about folks who had an agenda! They couldn't listen, for fear the facts would get in the way of "their plan". Thankfully our legislators found a way to restrict his budget to where he could do nothing on the "plan" at all.

Hello, I am new to the Beryl area as well. I just purchased a little over 4 acres. I do have to ask, does anyone know what are those huge green circles I am seeing on maps such as googlemaps?
Thanks

Those are hayfields.

[dg0628]

Thanks for the reply. Ive been asking around turns out they are alfalfa fields or in other words like you said hayfields. Does somebody own and run these fields or are they just there? Excuse my ignorance, I just never saw or heard of such a thing. Is it bad to have your property near the hayfields?
Thanks

A little history, many years ago the government sold land very cheap in the valley to men coming home from the war. They farmed beets, potatoes and hay using ditch irrigation. These men started families and expanded their farms. Now most of the pivots are owned by a few of the original families turned corporations. The hay is either baled or cubed for delivery. Most of the cubed hay is presold and shipped to China. A lot of the bales go to California. There is still a few potato fields, all shipped to Idaho! My husband worked on one of the local farms for 12 years and I worked during harvest. Very interesting, hard wok and fun!
It is an expensive operation to run.
As to living next to one, I wish I did! Lots of wildlife, green, sprinklers, very pretty. The hay is harvested 3 or 4 times a year, there will be trucks and tractors around. I love to go for walks around the pivots.
