The Irrigation Companies are working with Francis City to compensate those shareholders who have stockwater and will be over their basic allotment of city water during the period when water will not be in our ditch system. In order to qualify for compensation, you will need to sign up with Francis City before the project begins and water is removed from the system. You will need to let Francis City know how many head of livestock you will be watering and a rough estimate of how much water will be used.
NWIC and SKIC will be starting the repair work on our main canal soon.
No stock water will be supplied for the duration of the Main Ditch repair project. After reviewing costs, contractor bids, and timing of the project, the boards have concluded that costs can be reduced by a minimum of $141,000 and the project can be finished in a more timely manner if we remove water from the canal during the construction period. We realize that this poses a hardship for shareholders that utilize stock water but in reviewing the costs vs benefits, the boards concluded that eliminating the need to pump stock water around the area of construction would provide the greatest benefit.
SKIC and NWIC will be on CUP water for turn 6. Only shareholders who have a current CUP contract are allowed to use water at this time. Our intake of water from the Provo River and our return flow to the river are monitored on a daily basis by the Provo River Commissioner. Turn 6 begins at 5AM on August 3rd. Do Not use water just because there is some in the ditch and Do Not use irrigation water if you do not have a CUP contract.
Please note corrected schedules for SKIC Burbidge #1 and NWIC Group 3.
Please note all new turn schedules for SKIC and NWIC have been posted. Please check schedules for any changes.

The boards of SKIC and NWIC have voted to extend the moratorium on signing change applications for another 60 days. We hope that this extension will give us enough time to get all issues resolved. SKIC and NWIC reserve the right to extend the moratorium again if necessary.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.
The date of the regular monthly meeting for NWIC and SKIC has been changed from February 14th to February 15th.
If your water shares are all through NWIC or SKIC, the water companies will file necessary paperwork for the adjudication. If you have a change application with the Utah Division of Water Rights and that water is through either water company, the water companies will file on them but you should file as well.
If you own water rights that are separate from the water companies, you need to be sure to file the paperwork. You can check the adjudication page at the Utah Division of Water Rights to see if there are any water rights that you may not be aware of. If you have water rights separate from the water companies and they are not listed on the adjudication page, you need to file on those rights. The state may not be aware of them.
Effective 11/9/22 and extending 120 days, NWIC and SKIC have placed a moratorium on signing change applications. The Companies have placed this moratorium while we resolve some issues with the State regarding the amount of water held by each Company. The Companies reserve the right to extend the Moratorium if a resolution is not reached within the 120 day period. Additional posts will be added as we have more information.
