Simple, it has public utilities.

Many properties are without water rights. Those within a city served by public utilities, rural properties that are undeveloped, rural properties with a well may not have water rights. We deal with these issues a lot. Properties in our market may have water rights affiliated with irrigation canals that were built over 100 years ago to water the dry high desert and make it possible to grow crops. These rights to the water run with the land, but can be lost if not used. But the right to water is not something every property has.

That is not a question for us city folk. Sounds like more of a rural problem!

I have no idea. Have never once dealt with a water right issue in 25 years.

It's not on a body of water?

Because it's not on the water. 

What Mary Yonkers said. A

      Because it's in Florida or some other state east of the Mississippi, where most of us are riparian rights states.

I've never dealt with water rights in 40 years of listing real estate....

Water rights just like mineral rights can be separated from the land they are associated with. It is very common here in AZ for owners with large tracts of land to sell their water rights to a developer of adjacent properties so that they meet the requirements to build subdivisions or even commercial property. Check the deed to see what you own.

Mary Yonkers nailed this one!

Maybe because not all properties near the water? 

:) 

When you're connected to city/county/community water!

Water rights are only a "thing" in some locations. We don't have such a thing here. Properties either dig a well, which they own, or use municpal water which they don't own.

I never really heard of water rights until we were looking at property out west.

Public utilities ... as Mary Yonkers stated.

We do not have those issues in our market.

no municipal water lines, no well, no riparian rights - river water belongs to someone else, was deed restricted to someone or an entity, some states restrict the right to catch or save rainwater and roof water,  - no rights means you need to buy water from whoever owns the water

If they deeded them away they wouldnt have them. 

Because they are probably owned by the state.

Great answers are here.

Agree, a lot of good answers here.

If there is no water.... lol!

A home in the City is supplied by City water.

Do you mean access to a shore on a body of water or well water?

Because it's in California and Moonbeam Brown stole them in his fake drought!

King of cattle came from overseas in 19 c and bought all lands near waterways in CA. 

Because there's no water.

Silvia Dukes PA, Broker Associate, CRS, CIPS, SRES nailed this one!

Many properties convey with limited rights of use. It is not uncommon.

My honme does not...not reason to

mary has answered..

Same reason why we may all lose some internet rights soon, someone with more money bribed a politician.

No water?

James Kauli It it wasn't adjacent to water. Mary Yonkers makes a good point.
