Any water conveyed in or diverted from infrastructure within the boundary of Alta Irrigation District will be charged pursuant to the rate schedule below.

Landowners are to place water orders a minimum of 48 hours prior to receiving or increasing/decreasing deliveries (see Rule No. 8, Rules & Regulations). Ditchtenders are available from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. – returning to normal work hours once daytime highs drop below 100 degrees – to take water orders and they can be reached by calling the phone numbers listed in the tables below. If a ditchtender does not answer the phone, then leave a message or send your order via text. Report any non-emergency maintenance issue(s) such as gate repair/replacement, broken air vent, illegal dumping, reactivating a turnout, etc., to your ditchtender(s) as phones are equipped with a feature that allows tracking of such issues. As for emergency issues such as a canal breach, canal overtopping, leaky pipeline, etc., please contact Steve Barnett immediately at (559) 805-7524. Please leave a detailed message about the emergency issue(s) and identify nearest cross streets or turnout number.
