§ 4.08.020. Water allocation regulations.
The district board of directors has adopted water allocation regulations to be used in allocating the district's annual water supply. The regulations require filing a water allocation request by a specific date (usually thirty (30) days prior to the start of the contract water year) in order for land to be entitled to an allocation of water in the upcoming contract water year beginning on March 1 and ending the last day of February of the following year. Small parcel service (parcels of 10 acres or less in area) water users are exempt from this requirement. The district's annual water supply is determined solely by the district based primarily on that years allocation of the district's USBR contract supply, water stored in district owned and operated storage facilities, groundwater storage levels and anticipated water use.
