The District does not maintain private irrigation infrastructure beyond the delivery gate. It is the responsibility of landowners to ensure that private ditches, pipelines, screens, pumps, ponds , and filters are kept clear, functional, and in good working condition. Well-maintained systems improve efficiency and help ensure consisten water delivery. 

If you have any questions, please contact the District office. 

Note: Water delivery is both weather-dependent and demand- driven. At the start of the Irrigatioin season (typically between April 1st and April 15th), it make take 2-3 days for water to reach your private system after flows are initiated. As the season progresses, flows are reduced in reverse (100% to 50% to 30% to 0%) with similar 2-3 day adjustment periods. 

Routine maintence of your private ditch or pipeline, espcially during the fall and early spring shoulder seasons, is critical to ensuring reliable and efficient water delivery.

***Privately owned ditches and pipelines are not the District's responsibility to maintain, clean, or upgrade. Neglect of these private systems is the #1 reason that customers experience water delivery shortages and inefficiencies****
