AG Labrador announces landmark agreement to secure north Idaho’s water future

"This settlement is a massive win for all north Idaho families, businesses, and communities who depend on reliable water," said Attorney General Labrador. "For over a decade, this litigation created uncertainty for cities, farms, and employers across the basin. Courts had already held that the tribe was entitled to certain water rights on the Reservation that could affect the region. This settlement avoids continued litigation, protects existing water rights, secures water for future growth, and it is a win for all parties.”
