[WSBARP] Shared use of water agreement

[Rick Hoss]

Josh,

A practical way to deal with your request for form is to search your county auditor website. Here is a link to the Mason County Auditor website: 

               https://wei.sos.wa.gov/county/mason/en/Recording/Pages/Recording.aspx

 

If you click the right boxes you will end up with a list of recorded documents that contain “water” and “well” : http://216.235.102.169/masonrecorder/eagleweb/docSearchResults.jsp?searchId=1 

 

Turns out that every water district commissioner oath and declaration of candidacy comes up on water well searches, but the first agreement on the above list is a water well agreement:

There are a wide variety of forms, some actually useful. But learning to navigate county auditor websites is a good skill.

Rob’s point about the UTC is correct. An easy way to deal with that is to call your county/city health department and ask the person who manages water wells and systems.

Subject: [WSBARP] Shared use of water agreement

 

I have a client who is a HOA Water Association (all members have been owners of land in a plat).  Their well went bad, and the neighbor has agreed to sell/deed wells to the association and in return (among other things) the association will supply water to the neighbor into perpetuity.  

DOH and DOE issues are being handled, but I am wondering if anyone could share a “share use and permanent easement agreement” covering issues such as holdharmless if water can’t be provided, or if water quality problems arise, rates for water and method of determining rates, water user complying with governmental regulations, no guarantee of water  etc. etc.

 

Thanks

 

Josh
