Water is typically turned into the canal system by April 15th depending on the year and weather. It is typically turned off completely by October 1st. water cuts based on year priority take place based on available water in the Big Wood River along with priority calls from other water users. Because of substantial water conveyance loss in our system, as the summer goes on and less and less water is available our system starts to lose its capability to deliver water rights that are still being delivered into the system. The water is literally gone before it can get to the end user.
