Irrigation Update

 

Shareholders,

 

Here is an update on Settlement Canyon Irrigation Company and the Reservoir.

 

The reservoir is still going over the spillway. There continues to be a steady flow going down the canyon in the creek from the grate by the yellow gate.

 

 

 

 

• We are currently not under any water restrictions. We ask you to be water wise and use resourcefully to help manage the water we have been given. The allotment for meters has not been determined for this season. The Board will monitor the levels and make decisions about the allotment for meters when the runoff has slowed down more.  Those shareholders with meters will be informed with that information when the decision is made.
• The water flowing over the spillway is in the flood pipe and it flows out past 900 West then to the overflow area down off 700 South.
• If you notice a leak in your area or have a water Emergency, please contact David Lee at (435) 841-9522

 

• The Board continues to work with Tooele City and Tooele County to do flood mitigation. The City and County have worked hard to clear out the flood channels to minimize flooding.

 

• We have applied for and been granted an ARPA grant from the State of Utah to help with Meter Installation. We have been working hard to complete the Water Conservation Plan and have turned that in to the State. We are waiting for further information and what is needed to continue moving forward.

 

• The Irrigation Company continues with the installation of water meters. The Utah State Government has issued a bill requiring all secondary watering systems to be metered by 2030. Our contracted plumber, LeGrand Jensen Construction/Weston Jensen is working to install these meters. The installation began in 2020 at 500 South and 50 West and continued North on 50 West. We have approximately 155 meters installed.
• At the Annual Shareholder Meeting in 2020, a motion was made to charge each shareholder $1700 per connection for those meters already installed and to move forward with the installation of more meters. The average cost will need to be reflective of the increase in parts, supplies and labor. You will be notified when the meter is to be installed on your connection. An invoice will be sent when the meter is installed and payment will be due. Payment arrangements can be made by contacting the office.
