MANDATORY CONSERVATION

Drought conditions in recent years and most particularly during the recent winter and spring require the District to implement mandatory irrigation water conservation measures for the remainder of this 2026 irrigation season. We solicit your full cooperation in adhering to the conservation measures and thus allow the District to provide the maximum possible service to all District users throughout the remainder of the 2026 irrigation season.

ALL SECONDARY WATER HAS BEEN TURNED ON AS OF 4/28/2026. PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR RESTRICTIONS

PLEASE NOTE: WATER IS OFF IN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND MAIN ST. DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT BACK ON IN 1-2 WEEKS.

Important Dates

A public hearing to adopt the District Budget is held annually on the third Thursday in December at 7:30 p.m. at the District Office, 485 E Shepard Lane in Kaysville, and all residents and property owners within District boundaries are encouraged to attend.
Please note:

  • Irrigation water is not safe for human consumption

  • All irrigation taps, valves, and outlets should be clearly marked red as a safety warning

  • Irrigation systems must never be cross-connected with culinary drinking water systems.

Please ensure your irrigation system is turned OFF. As mainlines are charged for the new water season, it is your responsibility to prevent potential water damage to your property.

15

Water service will be available to all users by this date. If you do not have water at your connection, please contact our office.

Important: Make sure all valves are closed to prevent damage or flooding.

15

SEP

Pressure irrigation mainlines will begin draining for the season. After this occurs, drain your system promptly to prevent frost damage.

Why Water Conservation Matters

Everyone benefits when we use water responsibly. Simple changes in how and when you water can help protect supply, reduce waste, and keep the system running smoothly for the entire community.

Avoid Watering Hard Surfaces

Do not water sidewalks, driveways, or roadways. Watering only where it is needed helps prevent waste and keeps usage efficient.

Water at the Right Time

Do not water between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Watering during cooler hours reduces evaporation and ensures more water reaches your landscape.

Use Only What You Need

Apply only the amount of water your landscape requires. Using water wisely helps prevent overuse and supports long-term conservation.

THE IRRIGATION WATER IS NOT TREATED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION! 

  Great care must be taken as follows:

  • Never cross connect with culinary water lines.
  • Paint all irrigation taps, valves, outlets, etc., “RED” as a warning that they are not for human consumption.
  • Caution should be exercised when operating individual service line
  • Irrigation water is delivered with high pressure, necessitating proper    installation with quality valves, fittings, pipe or hose. 
  • Faulty installation or the use of substandard materialcould cause leaks and subsequent property damage.

DOUBLE CONNECTIONS

  • Single service connections are installed for land under one ownership.
  • Service to adjacent property owned by someone else is not permissible.
  • All violations of this requirement will be terminated from service by the District. 

Benchland Water District provides pressurized irrigation water to users within the boundaries of the District. For specific availability of service, telephone (801) 451-2105.  The District works to have 24 hour per day availability of irrigation water throughout the service season.  Repairs resulting from broken lines and the installation of new services do, on occasion, cause temporary interruption of service. 

The District delivers irrigation water to the property users.  The water, its management and service requirements, become the responsibility of the user at point of delivery.

THE SERVICE VALVE INSTALLED BY THE DISTRICT BETWEEN CURB AND SIDEWALK OR AT THE PROPERTY’S EDGE IS FOR DISTRICT USE.  THE WATER USER MUST CONTROL HIS OR HER DELIVERY SYSTEM BEYOND THE DISTRICT VALVE.  DO NOT USE THIS VALVE IN ANY WAY WITHOUT CONSENT FROM THE DISTRICT OFFICE: PHONE: (801) 451-2105 

Lines will begin to be pressurized with water beginning 01 April of each service year.  Turn your valves off prior to that time to prevent water from running on your property without your supervision.  Pressure irrigation lines will be drained for the season beginning 15 October.  Drain your own system after the main lines have been drained to insure that frost damage does not occur in your system. 

WATER USE

Each water user contracts with the District for a full water right, allowing the user reasonable use of water for irrigation throughout the season.  Users and potential users must understand that irrigation water is not an unlimited resource.  “USE THE WATER YOU NEED, AND NEED THE WATER YOU USE.”  Service will be terminated to any user willfully wasting this valuable resource.  

PAYMENT FOR SERVICE

Prompt payment of your annual service charge is essential to maintaining the use of your water.  Please include your account number on the check you remit in payment to insure proper credit to your account.

NON-PAYMENT OF YOUR ANNUAL USE CHARGE OR THE ONE-TIME CONTRACT CHARGE SHALL RESULT IN TERMINATION OF SERVICE.   

OCTOBER 15 —   SERVICE SEASON WILL CLOSE AND DRAINING OF THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN. 

OCTOBER 25 —   OPEN YOUR SYSTEM AND INSURE THAT ALL OF YOUR SYSTEM IS DRAINED FOR THE WINTER.

Drought conditions may limit the supply of irrigation water available. 

Your use of water conservation practices will extend the availability of our irrigation supply. 

During drought conditions be alert to all notices of restriction of use or limitation of service.
