Easements and Rights-of-Way Explained
Who owns them, who has rights to them, and how do they work? Click the link below for an in-depth look at the different easements and how they may affect you as a property owner.
2024 Assessments / 2023 Excess Water
We will be billing for the 2024 Irrigation season and the 2023 excess water usage the first week of December 2023. Assessments are due by January 31st 2024. Any late payments accrue past due interest beginning February 1, 2024.
Assessment Rate Classification
GVWUA’s Assessments are based on irrigable acres or “Class 1 Acres” as determined by the Bureau of Reclamation. Assessment rates are then classified by the number of Class 1 Acres and the land use. Land that has been Developed but left in the Agricultural Classification is being moved to the Developed Assessment rate.
Assessments must be paid prior to the beginning of the 2024 irrigation season to receive water.
Online Payments Now Available

– GVWUA will continue to accept mail in checks, and in person payments. All credit card transactions will include convenience fees.
Responsibilities
Grand Valley Water Users is tasked with maintaining and conserving our easements.
Irrigation canals and ditches and associated banks, roadways, gates, and irrigation facilities are private property not open for use by the public for any purpose without consent of the affected landowners and Grand Valley Water Users. Please respect that many of these easements are on land owned by families whose property the easement crosses. It’s not public property. We respect the privacy of the people whose property our easement crosses and ask you do the same. The easements that are title owned by the Bureau of Reclamation are no different. It’s still private property—not authorized for public use.
Unauthorized entry on private property is legally considered trespass. This includes all trespass—whether for walking a dog, riding a bike, dumping of trash or debris, or camping.
GVWUA maintains our easements to assure reliable delivery of irrigation water to our users. We take pride in keeping our easements well-kept and free of encroachments.
Canals can be dangerous and they are not patrolled! Don’t risk the safety of yourself or others by trespassing on our easement!
The canal roads are not monitored! Should something happen while on our easement, it could take valuable time for authorities to find you to administer aid.
Due to continued disregard for our posted signs and gates, GVWUA will begin taking legal action against trespass.
What We Do
GVWUA is responsible for the flow of water in its canal, in its laterals and through its headgates.
All parts of delivery systems (ditches, laterals, pipelines, pumps) beyond the headgates are the responsibility of landowners.
If subdivisions in the GVWUA service area are interested in organizing their own laterals via a Homeowners Association, please send an email to info@gvwua.com.
