Hohokam Irrigation and Drainage District

Water

The Districts primary purpose is to provide economically affordable irrigation water to our member lands. As part of that effort, we provide Central Arizona Project (CAP) water from the Colorado River to irrigated farmlands within the District. We also wheel a small amount of municipal and industrial water from the CAP, through our distribution system, on behalf of commercial water users in the Casa Grande/Coolidge area. 

We began receiving CAP water for distribution to our members in 1988 and, since that time, we have delivered approximately 700,000 acre-feet or, over 228 Billion gallons, of this very valuable commodity to those member lands.

Unlike other irrigation districts in the area, we do not control or operate any irrigation wells. These wells are owned and operated by our individual agricultural members, which are regulated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources.

All activities of the District are conducted to further the primary purpose for which it was formed.

Our member lands are billed by the Pinal County Assessor annually for irrigation taxes to cover the fixed costs of the District and we bill our members directly for water, which is scheduled to be delivered to them.

Water Rates

The Districts current annual irrigation tax rate is $31.00 per acre.

CAP water is currently delivered at the rate of $38.00 per acre-foot.
