A change in the generally described place of use for a water right held by an irrigation district may be made without applying for a change under the provisions of section 42-222 , Idaho Code, provided the district files with the department of water resources a map portraying the changes to the generally described place of use within which the district’s water rights shall be exercised. For this filing requirement, it shall be sufficient to provide a drawing on a seven-and-one-half-minute (7-1/2) quadrangle map having a scale of one to twenty-four thousand (1:24,000) which shows the changes to the outer limits of the boundaries of the irrigation district to include each quarter-quarter section within which irrigation occurs. This map showing changes to the generally described place of use shall be filed with the department no later than April 1 of the year following the changes. Notwithstanding the filing of such map, only the legal description of an irrigation district’s boundaries recorded in compliance with title 43 , Idaho Code, shall constitute conclusive proof of the district’s boundaries for purposes other than defining the generally described place of use for a water right held by the district.
