No Control

Because we understand water is a very precious commodity when you are an irrigator, we do offer an option enabling you to irrigate whenever you need to.

Energy is priced per kilowatt-hour (kWh) and the monthly energy and delivery charges you are billed each month is based on the total amount of energy used as recorded by your electric meter.

Fixed Charge: All irrigators on this rate will pay a fixed charge based upon the highest recorded demand (kW) reading from the previous irrigation season. The fixed charge is then billed with approximately 60% reflecting on the bill you receive on or after May 1st, then the remaining approximately 40% on the bill you receive on or after August 1st.

Standby Irrigation Service Rider

If you are not sure whether you are going to need irrigation service, but want to be sure you can irrigate if you need to, the standby rider is for you.

Energy prices are the same as the no control option (see above).

Fixed Charge: All irrigators choosing this option will pay approximately 60% of the no control charge. The charge will appear on the bill you receive on or after May 1st.

During the irrigation season (June 1 - September 30), if your energy usage exceeds 6 kWh per kW, you will be assessed the remaining 40% of the fixed charge on the bill you receive on or after August 1st.

Rates shown above represent cost per kilowatt hour only and does not include other applicable fees. See Rate Plans for details regarding additional fees.
