Mutual Water Company Legal Services

Mutual Water Companies are a unique business entity subject not only to a wide array of general laws, but with a number of laws specific to their operation and corporate status. We advise the boards of directors of mutual water companies on their obligations and duties in operating the mutual water company, including addressing problems with member excessive or improper use of water, water shortage emergencies, conduct of meetings, communications with members, setting water charges and collecting accounts, and drafting and revision of bylaws and rules.

We provide assistance with corporate governance, water shortage and drought response, negotiating and documenting easements. We assist mutual water companies with enforcement of their governing documents, including excessive water use and non-payment of assessments and water charges. We also provide the board of director training required by law.

• Director Training
• Easements and Licenses
• Drafting & Revision of Bylaws
• Counsel Member Excessive & Improper Use
