WHATCOM COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – There’s one more chance to get all your water adjudication questions answered by professionals.

Whatcom County Public Works is hosting its last adjudication workshop for residential well users on Thursday, June 5 at 5:30 pm.

The Washington State Department of Ecology mailed claim forms to landowners in March as part of the legal process that will determine who has water rights.

Thursday’s virtual workshop will be led by a water rights consultant and includes an overview of the process, a walk-through on filling out claim forms and a Q&A session.

Space is limited to 50 households and registration is required.
