Water engineering for irrigation projects
If you are planning a construction project, there is a good chance that you will
encounter an SRP irrigation facility. Even if a facility has been removed, or appears to
be inactive or abandoned, there may be legal requirements for the facility and
associated land rights.
It is important that you contact SRP Water Engineering to find out if an SRP
irrigation facility is near your project, whether it may need to be relocated,
and the process involved. A license from SRP is necessary to do any work or to
construct improvements or other facilities within SRP irrigation facility right-of-way.

SRP's irrigation system
SRP operates about 1,300 miles of irrigation system throughout the Phoenix metropolitan
area. Much of the system has existed in some form since the early 1900's, when private
canal systems were acquired by the federal government to ultimately form--along with Roosevelt
Dam--the Salt River Project.
The system conveys water to city water treatment plants, agricultural and urban
irrigators, including homes, parks, schools and other users. It is comprised of
large canals, open ditches, underground pipelines, and gated delivery structures.
