Water Rights Notice — Drought Update

Important: Due to current drought conditions, waterings are limited this season. Non-subjugated tracts are allowed 1 watering, and subjugated tracts are allowed up to 3 waterings. The 3rd watering will depend on the amount of water available in Wild Horse Reservoir. As of June 4th, we have used 50% of our water for this year's irrigation season. Please plan your irrigation schedule accordingly.
