Water Rights Trial Rocks Coyote Springs | Las Vegas News

A high-stakes water rights trial kicks off in Coyote Springs, where developers sue Nevada for $1.5 billion, claiming the state illegally revoked their water rights and halted a major housing project. The developers say they followed all regulations and were ready to build by 2018 — until a state letter declared their water rights insufficient. Nevada argues water is a public resource managed for the greater good, especially in a drought-stricken state, and that historical studies show the aquifer’s complexity demands caution. With site visits underway and a potential second phase involving taxpayer money looming, this could be a landmark case for water law in the West — and the next hearing is July 27.
