Patron Maintenance Responsibility

Beyond the Swalley owned canal and pipeline delivery gate, valve, or wier, the small irrigation systems leading to your property are likely privately owned and maintained by you and your neighbors. Swalley does not maintain these privately owned irrigation systems. Clogged private ditches and pipelines, grates, pumps, silted-in ponds, and/or filters are the landowners responsibility to keep free and clear. The cleaner your private infrastructure is, the more efficient your flows will be. Please call the District office with any questions or concerns. We are here to help and provide advice.

Irrigation Season Estimated Target Flow Dates and Rates *Flows are always subject to change, and not guaranteed.

-April 1 (depending on weather and demand)............0% to 30% flow rate delivered (~2 gpm/ac)

-May 1 .....................................................50% flow rate delivered (~3.5 gpm/ac)

-May 15 - Sept 14..........................100% flow rate delivered (~6-7 gpm/ac)

-Sept 15...................................................50% flow rate delivered (~3.5 gpm/ac)

-Oct 1- 31 (depending on weather and demand)........30% to 0% flow rate delivered (~2 gpm/ac)

*Note: Turning water into and out of our system is always weather-dependent and per demand. Once we start turning flows in for the irrigation season, typically April 1st through April 8th, it may take 2-3 days for water to reach your private system. As we transition into Summer, flows increase from 30% to 50% to 100%, and then in the Fall, flows decrease from 100% to 50% to 30% to 0% with the same 2-3 day period of adjustment. Your private ditch or pipeline clean-outs and irrigation maintenance during the Fall and early Spring shoulder seasons are key to you enjoying a reliable 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.
