With all our supplemental water supplies now being depleted we are being faced with the anticipated worst-case scenario. Through existing agreements and contracts, Orchard Mesa Irrigation District (OMID) and Grand Valley Water Users Association (GVWUA) will execute the 2 week on/off alternating plan given the natural river flows.
On the morning of the September 17th OMID will stop receiving water from the river, allowing GVWUA to service their system September 17th – October 1st.
On the morning of October 1st OMID will receive available water for 2 weeks through October 15th, this will be the end of OMID’s 2026 irrigation season.
