48-122. Extension of unexpired permits
Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, when the director of
water resources has issued to any district a permit to make an appropriation of water, or
a reservoir permit, and actual construction work under the permit has not begun, and the
time prescribed in the permit for beginning construction work has not expired, and the
district has, or before the expiration of such prescribed time shall have, made
application to any federal agency for a loan or grant, or both, of monies to be used for
the construction of its works, or some part thereof, the time for beginning actual
construction under the permit is extended until six months after the monies so applied
for have become available to the district, but in no event shall such extension exceed
two years after the time prescribed in the permit as that within which actual
construction must be begun.
