Except for domestic and stock water uses from ground water, each water user will install and maintain suitable measuring devices and controlling works at authorized water right points of diversion in accordance with Chapter 7, Title 42, Idaho Code. These devices will be installed and maintained at the water user’s expense to administer water properly. The Director may prohibit the diversion of water by a water user who refuses or fails to comply with this Section in accordance with Chapter 7, Title 42, Idaho Code. (7-1-26) 02.

(7-1-26) 03. Diversions Which May Be Exempt. Diversions below the Chilly Bridge and above Mackay Reservoir that divert water from the Big Lost River, whose place of use is within the flood plain of the Big Lost River as determined by the Director, may be exempt from the requirement for measuring devices and control works with the approval of the Director. Flow rates through exempt diversions will be estimated by the watermaster for accounting purposes by assuming the recorded flow rate of the water right is being diverted. (7-1-26) 036. -- 039.
