Suit Over Ownership of Return Flows
Stephen Hamilton and Jeffrey Wechsler represented a large New Mexico public utility in a suit over the ownership of return flows. The return flows at issue originated from the public utility’s groundwater pumping. However, the water was treated by a neighboring municipality that also claimed the right to those same return flows. On the eve of trial, the parties reached a resolution as part of a global settlement of multiple issues.
