For your convenience we've sub-divided the Water FAQ into three main sections: Irrigation & Billing, Colorado River Water, and Development. How often is the water availability charge billed and what is it for? Annual billing of the water availability charge is triggered by IID's computer system on December 31 for payment in the next year. The water availability charge helps to cover the maintenance and further construction of the irrigation and drainage system. Fallowing land does not exempt the land owner from the responsibility of sharing in payment for the system as long as the owner expects that future water deliver and drainage service will be needed for the field.
