Irrigation shareholder information
SRP provides water delivery services to
most of the land within the boundaries
of the Salt River Reservoir District.
In Arizona, water is tied to the land, not
to individuals or SRP. If you are eligible
to receive SRP irrigation, your land is
entitled to a predetermined allotment
of water. That allotment cannot be
transferred, bought or sold. Unique and
important responsibilities come with this
"water right".
You are responsible for getting water
to your property at the scheduled time.
Order only as much water as you need
and contain all the water you order on
your property. Water theft, flooding
and the resulting property damage,
may be punishable as felonies or
misdemeanors, or could result in a
civil lawsuit.
Water flooding and theft, and the property damage they cause, can result in a civil lawsuit.
Prompt repairs to the neighborhood
system in your area help ensure
uninterrupted water service. If you and
your neighbors cannot make the repairs
yourselves, Water Customer Services
has a list of irrigation repair contractors
you can contact for help. Please let SRP know when the repairs are complete
so service can resume with the next
possible water delivery.
Some shareholders may be entitled to compensation for a portion of the amount paid to Arizona Public Service Company (APS) for electricity each year. To qualify, you have to meet certain criteria. Currently, the application period for the 2010 Shareholder Compensation Program has ended. Future information about Shareholder Compensation Programs will be posted as it becomes available.
Many irrigating neighborhoods have
formed neighborhood associations to
promote teamwork, share expenses
and discuss problems. These can
be formal or informal homeowner
associations or county-approved
Water Delivery Districts.
An IWDD is a group of adjacent
landowners who enter into a
cooperative relationship to handle
the operation and maintenance of
the neighborhood system. IWDDs are
provided for under Arizona law.
If you would like a packet of
information about IWDDs, contact
Water Customer Services.
A key homeowner is a volunteer for the
neighborhood or group of irrigators.
Key homeowners help SRP contact
neighbors about events or situations
requiring quick notification. These
volunteers are also a great source of
information about the neighborhood
system.
Some neighborhoods hire commercial
irrigators as a convenient way to
handle their irrigation needs. These
commercial irrigators order and oversee
water deliveries, and often make
repairs to the neighborhood system. If
you�re interested, call Water Customer
Services for a list of commercial
irrigators. Commercial irrigators are not
affiliated with
SRP and SRP does not supervise
their actions.
Tips
-
If you would like to organize a
neighborhood meeting, or would like
to volunteer to be a key homeowner,
please call Water Customer Services.
An SRP Water Delivery Specialist will
be happy to attend your meeting or
explain the key homeowner program.
-
Delegate the key homeowner by
asking for volunteers. An effective
key homeowner enjoys working with
neighbors, and is knowledgeable
about, � and comfortable with, �
the operation of the neighborhood
system.
