If the owner of privately-owned or certain entered land under a reclamation project doesn't apply for a water right within one year of a set deadline or notice, the construction charge for that land goes up 5% every year until the owner applies and makes an initial payment.

For land held privately, or held under entries not subject to the reclamation law, the owner must apply for a water right within one year of August 13, 1914 — or, if notice was not issued before that date, within one year of the notice required under section 419. If the owner misses that deadline, the construction charge for the land increases by 5 percent every year until the owner applies and pays an initial installment.
