Frequently asked questions:

How is my irrigation calculated?

Acreages were put in place back in the early 1920's when the district was created. But many acreages changed in the 1980's by the state proof survey.

As water rights are owned by EPID , patrons do not pay for water; patrons pay for the right to use the water under our rules & regulations. The assessment is not based on a quantity of water delivered, but on the costs to operate and maintain the delivery system and district facilities.

Example:    10.00 acres of irrigation 

O&M 10.00 acres x 70.00.........................$700.00
Account Fee................................................ $150.00  
Total Assessment per year:                   $850.00
