Farmers and others in Whatcom County recently asked the judge overseeing the area’s water rights adjudication for permission to file several different proposals in the massive ongoing court case.
But, Judge David Freeman has now denied the request to allow the motions to move forward.
Fred Likkel, Whatcom Family Farmers’ Executive Director, joins Dillon with more on what this means for farmers and other water users still working to file their court claims in the case, as well as updates on other local water issues including flooding.
