MESA COUNTY IRRIGATION DISTRICT WAS FORMED IN 1906
Approximately 1,700 landowners are served by the Mesa County Irrigation District
MCID’s boundaries encompass approximately 2,300 acres; about 900 acres are irrigated. MCID’s water rights are allocated to the acreage within the District’s boundary. When land ownership changes, the water stays with the land. Water assessments are collected by the Mesa County Treasurer as part of the property taxes levied on irrigated lands within the District.

Assessments
Assessments for the first acre and less are $34 per year. Rates for any acreage above the first acre is $28 per acre or fraction thereof.
Open Ditches
The District is not responsible for operating or maintaining open ditches. Those that use or can use those ditches are responsible for preparing them for the irrigation season by April 1st. This includes cleaning them from trash, debris, weeds and sediment. If a ditch is not ready to accept water by April 1, the District may refuse to deliver irrigation water.
