Secondary Water Shutoff for the Season: Week of October 14th


Please be advised that secondary water will be shut off for the season during the week of October 14th. This annual shutoff marks the end of the irrigation season, so be sure to complete and necessary watering and system maintenance before this date.

Important Notes:

Shutoff Date: Week of October 14th 

System Draining:
After the water is turned off, it may take a few days for the system to fully drain. There may be water in the lines for a few days after shutoff, this is normal.
 
Water Unavailable Until Next Season: Once the water is fully drained, it will remain off and unavailable until the following irrigation season.

Check for Leaks: If you suspect any leaks in your system, it's crucial to pinpoint and repair them now. You must have water to locate leaks and repairing them now will help you avoid complications when the system is turned back on next year. 

Winterization: Be sure to drain and winterize your irrigation systems to prevent damage during the colder months.

Valve Repair: If you need to replace/repair your main shutoff valve, a good time to do that is once the water is drained from the system.

Shut off Valve for Next Season: It's important to ensure your shutoff valve in in the OFF position BEFORE April 1st. This will help prevent flooding issues if you have broken sprinkler head or an undetected leak when we start pressurizing the lines. 


Thank you for your attention and cooperation

OLD METER READERS TO BE REPLACED BY NEW AMI READERS IN 2024-2025


Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company is improving our secondary water system. If you have a meter that was installed before 2022, the radio transmitter was a Itron reader. This allowed DWC to drive the system and get meter readings. The Itron system has become obsolete and a new AMI radio that sends out a signal to a tower that reads automatically will be installed. If you have an Itron reader you will not receive monthly e-mails this year (2024). We are hoping to have the new radios installed for the 2025 water year. We are also working towards a user portal in the future.
