1. The water rights to all lands acquired under the provisions of this chapter shall attach to and become appurtenant to the land as soon as the title passes from the United States to the State. Any person or persons, association, company or corporation furnishing water for any tract of land shall have a first and prior lien on the water right and land upon which the water is used, for all deferred payments for the water right. The lien shall be in all respects prior to any other and all other liens created or attempted to be created by the owner and possessor of the land, and the lien shall remain in full force and effect until the last deferred payment for the water right is fully paid and satisfied according to the terms of the contract under which the water right is acquired.
2. The contract for the water right upon which the lien is founded shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county where the land is situated.
