The water will be turned on Saturday, April 18 in the morning. Please make sure your sprinklers are shut off and connections are closed. Farmers, please make sure your risers are shut off.
As you all are aware, this year has been below average in snowfall in our area. We are in an D3(Extreme) drought. Currently as of 4/7/2026, the level of the reservoir is 48.9 feet. The reservoir is full at 60.5 feet. The pumps are on to get as much water to the reservoir as possible. This year will require all shareholders’ efforts to be waterwise and resourceful. The recommended watering times are between 6pm and 10am. Lawns only need 1 to 1.5 inches of water weekly to reach deep roots. Here is a link to help guide you in your weekly watering.

The system will pressurize
more efficiently if all valves are turned off. We will begin the season with
a no weekend watering restriction. This is for all shareholders, even those
with a meter. This restriction will begin on Friday, April 24 at 8pm. This will
allow shareholders to test their system throughout the week and get leaks fixed
if needed. No weekend watering will be
allowed between Friday 8pm through Monday,7am. If you notice a leak in your
area please call David Lee at (435) 841-9522 or the office at (435) 833-9606.
The allotment for those with meters is 44,000 gallons per share. The Reservoir level will
be monitored and if the amount can be increased later in the season, shareholders
will be told that information. Please be very conscientious of how you use your
water. You are ultimately responsible for
keeping track of your meter readings.
Exceeding your allotment will result in locked service and assessed significant
penalties. Please use your “eyeonwater” account to monitor your usage. If you
need that information, please contact the office.
