Grand Valley Water Users Association (GVWUA)

To minimize the impact of COVID-19 and protect the public health, safety, and welfare of district/authority staff and constituents, the district has enacted emergency preparations and procedures. The objective of these emergency preparations is to sustain community and environmental health during the COVID-19 outbreak through proactive planning and response to ensure effective operations, public confidence, and regulatory compliance.

During this time, the district and authority’s top priority is the health and safety of staff members so they can continue to fulfill their mission to the community. With that in mind, the district has made operational adjustments that limit public access to district and authority facilities. The district is encouraging the public to conduct as much business as possible via phone (970-242-5065) and/or email.

Due to the COVID-19 virus Grand Valley Water Users Association office will be closed to non-staff members.

Please use the center mailbox outside the chain link fence to drop off any payments
(make sure payments slide down into lower section of mailbox).

Payments can also be called in to the office at (970) 242-5065 and paid on a Credit or Debit Card. Please call or email any questions to office@gvwua.com.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Responsibilities

GVWUA is responsible for the flow of water in its canal, in its laterals and through its headgates. All parts of delivery systems (ditches, laterals, pipelines, pumps) beyond the headgates are the responsibility of landowners. If subdivisions in the GVWUA service area are interested in organizing their own laterals via a Homeowner’s Association, please contact the GVWUA at (970)242-5065.

Seasonal Water Turn on/Turnoff Information

Spring 2020, at this time GVWUA plans to divert irrigation water into the canal at the dam on Wednesday, April 1, 2020 (it takes 3-4 days for the water to fill the canal to Mack and the canal must be full before laterals will be filled).

Thank you, we appreciate your cooperation.
