County protests ISC water control bid near Ute Lake
Tucumcari Quay County Regional Water Authority files a protest against the Interstate Streams Commission seeking control of water in the Canadian River below Ute Lake Reservoir. City Manager Jared Langenegger says the ISC is not seeking rights to acres but control to protect habitat for the Arkansas River shiner.
