Dear Agricultural Water Customers:

Based on the current weather conditions and significant precipitation, the District, with Board approval, has decided to delay the start of the irrigations season to April 14, 2023. 

The District intends to make water deliveries on the majority of the systems by Friday, April 14. In a few specific cases, water deliveries will not be available due to construction and repair activities nearing completion. As these systems become available, they will be charged and made ready for deliveries. 

The District urges customers to contact your assigned Watertender to obtain specific information regarding your system’s status and when you are ready to place your water order(s). The 2023 Watertender Division Assignment and contact information is on the back of this notice.

If you haven’t already done so, please be sure to get your 2023 crop declaration forms in as soon as possible to ensure there are no delays in processing your water orders.  

Should you have any questions or need information regarding the start of the 2023 irrigation season, please contact SID Agricultural Operations Supervisor, Stuart Chaney. Mr. Chaney can be reached by telephone at (707) 455-4031 or by email at schaney@sidwater.org.
