Coyote Springs Nevada Developer Seeks Nevada Water Rights

Reno business man and Coyote Springs Nevada developer Harvey Whittemore has applied for additional water rights for his Coyote Springs NV development located in Coyote Springs NV. The Coyote Springs Nevada development is 50 miles north of Las Vegas and is expected to open in the spring of 2008. Tuffy Ranch Properties LLC is owned by Harvey Whittemore, has filed 54 applications with the state water engineer to change existing water rights. The Lake Valley water rights in dispute are located 100 miles to the north of Coyote Spring Nevada. The applications involve about 11,000 acre-feet of underground water. The big question is whether it will effect and hurt the ranches in and around Lake Valley which include Whittemore's ranches he has purchased in the valley. With the addition by the Southern Nevada Water Authority and it's purchases of rural underground water there is worry the water will not be there for the expected demand. Harvey Whittemore's argument is for the jobs it will produce for Lincoln County. Whittemore had predicted $100 million a year in tax revenue. Whittemore currently owns 4,600 acre-feet of water rights and will need 50,000 acre-feet for Coyote Springs in Nevada.
