End of Water Season
As previously reported, last week, we did deliver secondary water to all qualified shareholders through Tuesday, October 15, 2024.
However, in cooperation with the Little Cottonwood Creek Commissioners, we are postponing the flushing of our system pipes until next spring. There simply is not enough water in Little Cottonwood Creek to do the work as we had planned—it has been a very dry fall.
It will not be necessary to close your valves as had been recommended because there will be no backflow due to flushing. You may prepare your system for the winter freeze at your convenience.
Your South Despain Ditch Company Board of Directors is apologetic for this necessary change of plans. We will communicate in the spring about the flushing project prior to the start of our 2025 Irrigation Season.
Also, as previously noted, the fall assessment will be $130 per share. These assessment notices are being prepared and will be distributed by US Mail within the next week.
