Montezuma Valley Irrigation Company
2018 Announcements
***************************************************
No further changes were made
at the August 7 special meeting.
Due to water shortage we are going to 3/4’s of a head.
The flow rate will be cut on each headgate to no more than 75% of the total shares allocated to the gate.
(Number of shares x .75 for weirs and parshalls.)
(5.62 gallons per minute x .75 = 4.22 gallons per minute for meters.)
The allocation is still set at 36 inches or 3 acre feet per share. Gates will be turned off when the allocation is met.
The water situation will be revisited weekly.
Notice of changes will be made by the website.
A date has NOT been set for water to be shut off.
Shareholders will be shut off
when their allocation has been used.
