Public Notice: Transition from Highline Irrigation Ditch

Dear Highline Ditch Users,

We want to thank you for being part of the Highline Irrigation Ditch community over the years. It has served us well, but as we look toward the future, we’re excited to share an important update.

This will be the final season for the Highline Irrigation Ditch. Beginning next year, all irrigation systems will need to transition to a culinary water source. This change will help ensure a more reliable, safe, and sustainable water supply for everyone.

We understand this is a big shift, and we’re here to support you through the process. Please start planning now to make the necessary adjustments. Additional resources and guidance can be found in the Highline Ditch Policy to help make this transition as smooth as possible.

Summary of Springville City’s Highline Transition Policy
