Water management is a necessary part of life in the Grand Valley, and we're doing our best to improve the safety of water as it flows through your neighborhood.

From Loma to Palisade, the Grand Valley Drainage District is working to keep our waterways flowing smoothly - returning water to the Colorado River and making your neighborhood as safe as we can.

YOUR RESPONBILITIES FOR WATER MANAGEMENT

With the start of the Irrigation season,  each water user has their responsibility for management of the Irrigation water they use and the irrigation ditch system that takes water from the Canal to each property and carries water away from each property and returns it to the Colorado River.  Irrigation water ditches need to be clean and all debris removed throughout the season.  When you use water from a ditch, you have a shared responsibility with all of the other property owners that use that ditch.  Use of the ditch begins at the headgate on the Irrigation Canal and ends when the water gets back to the Colorado River. 

The Colorado State Statutes has many rules for irrigation water rights and responsibilities.  Those rules can be found in Title 37, Article 84 of the Colorado Revised Statutes.  Click here for an excerpt from those state rules.
