GVWUA operates the Cameo Diversion Dam, the 55-mile-long Government Highline Canal, and 150 miles of piped and open laterals, providing irrigation water to more than 23,000 acres of land from Indian Wash near 28 1/2 Road to 5 Road northwest of Mack.

Urgent Updates
Due to the cool wet weather and the turbid conditions of the river potentially affecting mussel mitigation, the diversion gates at the Dam have been closed as of Tuesday morning October 29th.

Zebra Mussels and the Government Highline Canal
As we respond to this new threat, we appreciate our water user’s diligence and willingness to keep an eye out for anything that appears suspect to them. Zebra mussels can cause extensive and expensive damage to our system unlike anything we’ve deal with before.
The picture taken on the paper towel are of native Corbicula clams not zebra mussels. The picture of the mussel on the person’s hand are zebra mussels and the pest we need you to watch for!
We would rather you send us pictures of native, non-harmful species and risk being wrong then send no pictures at all!
Never hesitate to reach out to our office staff at info@gvwua.com or your ditch rider with questions or concerns.
Weekly Updates
We will cease diverting water at the Roller Dam on Friday November 1st. Keep in mind it takes several days for the canal and laterals to empty.
