IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS!!
Since 2022, Haights Creek Irrigation Company (HCIC) has been working on a State of Utah, MANDATED, project which involves the installation of a metering system to measure secondary water use by user. HCIC has been and will be continuing the replacement of existing small HCIC owned valve boxes and valves with a HCIC owned 21" box, meter, valve and lid.
In some cases the HCIC owned valve has been used instead of the shareholder's personal valve because the shareholder's personal valve has been inoperable or in some cases the shareholder did not have a personal valve. HCIC by-laws state this is not acceptable nor allowed. Each shareholder property is to have an operable personal valve. This has not been enforced, but due to additional repair/replacement costs and the new service operations required, this must not nor cannot continue.
Going forward, shareholders must use only their personal valve to control their personal/individual system. If your personal valve is inoperable or you don't have a personal valve you must repair or install a working personal valve prior to the 2026 irrigation season, which is projected to start April 15, 2026. Individual's services may be withheld until this has been completed!
HCIC valves are an integral part of the total water transmission system. They control the flow of water from main water lines to shareholder property. These valves must stay on all the time to maintain a constant flow of water in the irrigation season, and during the winter season's low temperatures, this will reduce the risk of water freezing in the meter and/or lines. Interruptions create problems, additional repair expenses, and service outages. Shareholders or their agents are not authorized to turn HCIC valves on or off for any reason.
This is not a change in policy, but a resolve to enforce existing HCIC By-Laws:
1. Every property owner/shareholder is required to have and maintain a personal valve.
2. No person, except for HCIC personnel, is authorized to use HCIC valves or infrastructure for personal use.
3. HCIC personnel are the only authorized users to turn on and/or off HCIC valves at any time,
including emergency breaks.
4. Any damages, due to unauthorized use of the HCIC valve and/or tampering with a HCIC valve, the shareholder will incur total repair costs as well as fines/fees.
Thanking you in advance for your understanding with this particular matter.

Background, Process and Irrigation
A History of Haights Creek Irrigation
The conserving and effective use of water resources in the Western United States has been a severe problem for centuries. For those settling in Kaysville, Davis County, Utah the problem was no different. Thus on February 28, 1899, forty-five residents “….associated themselves together for the purpose of the better management, control, distribution and saving of the waters flowing in Haights Creek…..”
In order for this to be accomplished, the Haights Creek Irrigation Company (HCI) corporate charter gave them authority to “…own, acquire, make, build, construct, and maintain reservoirs, dams, ditches, pipelines, waterworks systems, and canals…(to) distribute the waters belonging to said incorporators…”
The mission of HCI has not changed since the first incorporation in 1899 – that of providing water to the shareholders/owners of the company in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Assessments and Collection Processes
Haights Creek Irrigation has mailed the assessments for the 2023 water season. You should be receiving your invoice, by mail, the first week of November. All payments should be received no later than January 15th.

Please contact the office with any concerns or questions you may have about your irrigation water, invoicing, or the upcoming Shareholders Meeting.
Water-Wise Irrigation
Studies have shown that most lawns only need to be watered once every 3 to 4 days to stay healthy and green. Watering every day creates shallow roots. Watering infrequently develops deep roots and healthier turf. A healthy lawn comes from Aeration, this can help improve water and air movement to roots, Fertilization, doing this too frequently or at the wrong times can create extra stress on the lawn, Mowing Height, set the blade so that you keep the grass at a height of 3 inches, and watching the Sprinkler Clock, prevent water waste by adjusting your clock monthly.
Always avoid watering during the heat of the day, from 10 am to 6 pm. This reduces evaporation loss by 15 to 20 percent.
