Mission Statement
The Mission of Benchland Water District is to provide its customers with an adequate and reliable supply of quality water that meets customer needs at a reasonable cost. However, the District does not:
(1) guarantee delivery of a specific quantity of water each year or
(2) guarantee delivery of water for a specific period of time each year
The District cannot be held responsible for variations in annual water supply available for secondary water use due to drought, natural disasters, or other acts of God: damage to water conveyance facilities, dam failures, or other disruptions to water storage or delivery: or other cauases beyond the reasonable control of the District.
The District is a governmental, not-for-profit entity that relies upon annual dues from its customers to operate and maintain the secondary system. The cost of maintaining and servicing the secondary system is not reduced during times of water supply shortage, and the District will not issue refunds to secondary water users due to interrupted service or a shortened water season.

During the summer of 1967, Le Grande Gregory then serving as Mayor of Farmington City, contacted Aaron Richards telling Aaron that something must be done to correct the waste water and open ditch irrigation problems in the community. He asked Aaron to attempt to get the open ditch stock irrigation companies to cooperate in instituting a pressurized underground irrigation system to replace the open ditches. As a result of this request and with Mayor Gregory's encouragement a committee was organized with that objective as its purpose. Committee representation was composed of individuals nominated and sponsored by each of the irrigation companies and a representative from Farmington City. Aaron Richards served as Chairman of the Committee.
The sponsoring organizations jointly funded an engineers feasability study and held public meetings as well as engaged in extensive dialogue and debate for two years. They concluded their work by petitioning the Davis County Board of Commissioners to create an irrigation improvement district under the legal statutes of the State of Utah. On October 1, 1969 the Farmington Area Pressurized Irrigation District, aka "FAPID", became a legal entity (renamed Benchland Water District in January 2006). The first regular pressurized service was provided beginning April 28, 1978.
