FAQs & General Information

The ditch company relies solely on Mother Nature to provide the water used for irrigation. If we have a poor snowpack in the mountains, we will more than likely have a poor water year. This may mean that water is turned into the canals later than usual or the water may be turned off sooner than usual. We cannot control some situations.

The full assessment still has to be paid, even during a poor water year. 

The water dates are generally April - October.  
Depending on the year, if we have a wet spring, the water may start mid-late April.

We generally turn off mid-October.  

Blow-outs can be scheduled starting around the last week of October each year.

NOTE: The irrigation company does NOT perform any blow-outs or any pump station maintenance, cleanings or repairs.  

The property owner is responsible for their own yard sprinkler issues.

The irrigation company does NOT fix broken lines within subdivisions.

No, the water is attached to the land. Even if you choose to not use the water, you cannot sell your shares. 

Additionally, surface water (irrigation water), when available, is to be used before groundwater, to protect our most valuable resource.

One share is equal to one miner inch, or approximately nine gallons of flow per minute.
