Description/Agenda

Resolution 2026-001 of the Wellsville-Mendon Conservation District (WMCD) A resolution to establish two designations of water users, including Agricultural Users (Ag Users) and Municipal/Industrial Water Users (M&I Users), and to increase the annual assessment for the water users of the Wellsville-Mendon Conservation District proposed on this day, June 2, 2026. Where As, the cost of operating and maintaining the WMCD canal system has continued to increase and adjustments to annual assessment or water rate have been raised accordingly in the past for such purposes; Where As, after receiving both state and federal grants specifically for piping the 'Upper Canal' portion of the WMCD delivery system to improve efficiency and use of water; Where As, the United States Bureau of Reclamation (the Bureau) is currently building a new spillway for Hyrum Dam, which stores water for the WMCD to be utilized during the irrigation season and water users under the WMCD will be responsible for paying a portion of the project's cost to be determined in the future through a loan from the Bureau; Where As, the Bureau will assess a 3% interest rate on the loan for those water users determined to be utilizing water for M&I purposes at that time; Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the WMCD is establishing two water user categories; one for agricultural users (Ag) whose land is solely used for the production of agricultural products, and another for municipal/industrial users (M&I) on land parcels 10 acres or less where a house and/or other non-agriculture related buildings reside that may or may not include agricultural production: And Be It Further Resolved that Ag users will be assessed an annual rate of $45/acre-foot or portion thereof, and M&I users will be assessed an annual rate of $71/acre-foot or portion thereof effective this date. This resolution supersedes all previous resolutions establishing water rates for the WMCD.
