Welcome

We provide water to 8,260 acres of land and 540 patrons. The Eagle Point area is known for it's quality grass hay produced by the local farmers. The 7 person crew at EPID recognizes the contributions farmers make to our community and we do our best to serve their needs. Our Board of Directors develop and uphold district policies, which includes three members : President, Vice President & Director. Each Board member must own property with in our district to be elected by the 540 patrons .
Irrigation season starts in early to mid-April and may continue through early October. During water season our crew is dedicated to allotting water as efficiently as possible and preventing interruptions in water flow. During the winter months we capitalize on the water flow to operate our power plant and complete projects and maintenance required for a pleasant operation during water season. CHANGES TO LATE FEES:
Due to recent changes by the United States Postal Service (USPS), we can no longer accept payments based on the date they are dropped in the mail, as local post offices no longer apply same-day postmarks. Mail is now transported to Portland, and the postmark often reflects the date of processing, which can be 1-3 days after you drop it off, resulting in late fees. To ensure timely payment, we require that payments be physically received by the due date or, if using mail, hand- stamped inside the post office on the day of mailing Recommendation: To avoid late fees, please ensure payment is mailed early or receive a manual postmark by a postal clerk.
