In July, 2020, attorney Laura Schroeder will hit the road and travel to Idaho to teach a series of classes on “Water Law for Utilities.” The classes are put on by the Idaho Rural Water Association (IRWA) and are approved by the State of Idaho Bureau of Occupational Licenses for 0.6 drinking water or wastewater Continuing Education Units.
Laura regularly presents to small and large groups in and around the Portland metropolitan area. However, this is the first time since 2018 that she will make it to Idaho. Then, she worked with IRWA to teach a series on understanding and managing municipal drinking water rights. This time around, she will focus on water utilities.
In these classes, Laura will provide an overview of water rights in the State of Idaho and how water utilities are impacted by the laws and statutes that govern those rights. She will also address water quality, quantity, and access issues, including a brief discussion of easement law. Finally, she will go over some of Idaho’s public meeting laws and how they pertain to water utilities.
Laura will teach in Twin Falls, Idaho on Monday, July 14, in Pocatello, Idaho on Tuesday, July 15, and in Fruitland, Idaho on Thursday, July 17.
