The water was shut off this morning. It can take a while for the system to drain so some areas will have water longer than others. We recommend taking a picture of your final meter reading so you have it when we begin next season.

Please contact the office with any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Frequently asked questions regarding the recent change to billing for those with shares held by Grantsville City and attached to properties. (This does not apply to those with shares in their own name):

Why is Grantsville City (City) charging $40 more per year than the assessment?
*The City recently updated the calculation for the irrigation administrative fee. The correct charge is $17.19 per month ($206.28 annually). This amount includes the annual assessment historically charged by Grantsville Irrigation Company (GIC). Homeowners will no longer receive a bill from GIC.

Is the City taking control of GIC?
*No. The City and GIC are two separate entities. The only change is that the City is taking over billing for the annual assessment of $200 per share.

Will the City have voting rights in GIC?
*No. Homeowners can vote their property's share at the annual meeting by obtaining a proxy form from the City. The Annual Shareholders Meeting is held on the second Wednesday of February each year. Proxy forms will be available starting February 1st and must be submitted to GIC by the Monday before the meeting.

Why is the share attached to the property and not in my name?
*In the original subdivision, irrigation shares fulfilled outdoor water dedication requirements, similar to how underground water rights are linked to properties for drinking water. Using irrigation for outdoor watering prevents waste of culinary water.

How does the attached share benefit me?
*Having irrigation adds value to your property, making it more appealing to buyers when you are ready to sell your home. This improvement can help you get better prices and attract more interest from potential buyers.

Who do I contact if I need to lease extra shares?
*GIC will manage leasing of shares, meter reading, repairs, and anything else that involves the irrigation system.

I need to clarify something for those whose shares are attached to the property. We will be collecting the assessment of $200 per share from Grantsville City. You will not receive a bill from the irrigation company next year. Anything above the $200 assessment is charged by Grantsville City.

We will continue to read the meters, lease out shares, and maintain the system for all users. I apologize for the confusion. Have a great afternoon!

We anticipate shutting off the system on October 1st. Please remember the homeowner is responsible to keep track of the meter reading to ensure their allotment has not been exceeded. If you have gone over and would like to continue to water for the rest of the season you'll need to lease another share. Otherwise, you can pay the penalty and the shut off fee but you will unable to use the water for the remainder of the season. If we shut off your service there is a $100 shut off fee.

Many have asked why the change was made to transfer the irrigation billing of some homeowners to Grantsville City. When subdivisions are built, the developer has two options: pay an outdoor impact fee of approximately $25,000 or transfer an irrigation share, costing between $7,000 and $9,000, to Grantsville City. This share was then attached to each property. This practice has been standard for all subdivisions with irrigation access for over 20 years. While the share increases your property value, it cannot be sold or transferred. We should have been billing the city, and the city would then bill the homeowner. We are now correcting this oversight. We currently collect a $200 assessment per share. Anything above that is charged by Grantsville City. Grantsville Irrigation Company (GIC) will contine to manage and maintain the irrigation system. This change only affects those with shares attached to the property. This does not affect irrigation shares that are directly owned by the individual shareholder.

For agricultural shares and residential shares owned by individuals and not tied to a property, GIC will continue to assess those shares annually. Assessments will be paid directly to GIC. The leasing of shares will still be managed through GIC.

The allocation per share will be determined by GIC at the start of the irrigation season and penalties will be assessed for any overages. For those shares held by individuals the overage will be charged directly to the shareholder. Failure to pay assessments or penalties will result in shares being sold to cover amounts due to GIC.

Please feel free to contact the office with any questions or concerns. Thanks so much!

Some homeowners recently received a letter from Grantsville City regarding an important change to the billing process for irrigation shares that are attached to the property. This change only affects those with shares attached to the property. This does not affect irrigation shares that are directly owned by the individual shareholder. There are approximately 1700 shareholders whose shares are owned by Grantsville City - not all of these homeowners have received notification but should receive a letter soon. These shares were turned over to the city and attached to the property by the developer in lieu of paying the outdoor water acquisition fees. Again, this change only affects the billing process. Grantsville Irrigation Company (GIC) will contine to manage and maintain the irrigation system.

For agricultural shares and residential shares owned by individuals and not tied to a property, GIC will continue to assess those shares annually. Assessments will be paid directly to GIC.

The allocation per share will be determined by GIC for all shares at the start of the irrigation season and penalties will be assessed for any overages. For those shares held by individuals the overage will be charged directly to the shareholder. Failure to pay assessments or penalties will result in shares being sold to cover amounts due to GIC.

The meters were read again on June 25th. If you'd like your reading please EMAIL your request to [email protected]. Please allow a few days for a response as I work through the requests. All water used this year has been metered - we began with the initial reading when we turned on the system. Your use may seem like more than you used in 2024. That's because we didn't read meters until June 25th. Any water used before then did not count towards the allotment of 200,000 gallons. If you'd like information on how to read your meter please let me know and I'll email it to you.

As a reminder, residential users have been allotted 150,000 gallons per residential share. Agricultural users have been issued a total of 3 regular turns for the season.

Please don't hesitate to contact the office with any questions or concerns. Thanks!
