What happens if an irrigator is irrigating more acres than on the assessment roll for a parcel?
The Board of Directors have placed an over irrigation penalty of $50.00 per acre plus the annual water rate on parcels being over irrigated. Irrigators are advised to make applications to purchase additional irrigation acres if needed. There are situations where irrigators are over irrigating on one of their parcels while under irrigating on another parcel with their net irrigation being under or within their assessed irrigation acre total. This is no longer going to be acceptable and irrigators in this situation will be required to transfer irrigation acres or face over irrigation penalties on the over irrigated parcel.
