Merrillee Malwitz-Jipson and Our Santa Fe River, Inc. have been served a Complaint Summons to appear in a Suwannee County civil court as a result of requesting a Petition for an Administrative Hearing stemming from the Suwannee River Water Management District Governing Board and staff issuing a 2.3142 million gallon a day water use permit in Suwannee County, for agricultural use located between the Ichetucknee, Santa Fe and Suwannee River systems.

Due to the nature of this legal matter, we are not able to discuss the lawsuit at this time.  However, we want you to know 4 lawyers are zealously going to defend OSFR and Jipson in this case.
