Water Rights Enforcement: Notices of Violation (NOVs)
Before the Board imposes Cease and Desist Orders or financial penalties for water rights violations, we alert violators of the problem and give them the opportunity to comply. This alert is officially called a Notice of Violation or NOV. Many violators require no further enforcement action beyond an NOV. For information about other water rights enforcement steps, follow the Information Order, CDO, and ACL links below.
