Water Usage 7/28/2025

 

To All Shareholders,

 We are writing to inform you of a concerning drop in the water level at our reservoir. Over the past seven days, the reservoir has decreased by approximately 4 feet. This rate of depletion is unsustainable and could lead to mandatory watering restrictions if not addressed promptly.

 

To help avoid such restrictions, we are asking all shareholders to be water wise and use our irrigation resources as efficiently and sparingly as possible. This includes:

 

•              Watering only when necessary

 

•              Avoiding daytime watering to reduce evaporation

 

•              Checking for and fixing leaks in irrigation systems

 

•              Turning off water during rain or cooler weather

 

Currently, the reservoir level as of 7/28/2025, is 42.3 feet. In 2024 at this time, the level was 49 feet. In 2023 it was at 52 feet and in 2022 the level was at 28 feet. If we continue to drop, the first restriction would be no weekend watering for all shareholders, even those with a meter on their connection.

 

Our goal is to slow the current rate of use so that we can continue to provide adequate water for all shareholders throughout the remainder of the irrigation season. If we can all work together and be mindful of our water usage, we can help preserve this vital resource and avoid further restrictions.

 

We appreciate your cooperation and stewardship of our shared water resources. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

 

Sincerely,

Settlement Canyon Irrigation Company
