irrigationPlease email us click here, or call Public Works at 970-641-8020 for any of the following:

  • Your water meter is leaking or broken.
  • You need the water turned off at the curb valve.
  • There is water bubbling up in the street by your house.
  • There is no water flowing through your ditch.
  • Your irrigation ditch is flooding your yard.

DITCHES:  The City has 25 miles of irrigation ditches.   Our ditch water rights run from May 15th through September 15th.   When the water is turned on, it takes some time for maintenance, cleanup, and repairs.   Water is usually in town by the 15th of May. 
5/23/2023 Ditch Update: City crews have finished the necessary repairs to fix the leak on the main ditch. Water was turned back on yesterday afternoon. It will take a few more days for the water to reach town, but it is on it's way!!
5/19/23 - We are still working on the ditch repairs. We will have an update on Monday.  Thank you for your patience.
