The current Irrigation Rate Schedule, which includes a schedule for both normal and dry years, was adopted by the TID Board of Directors in 2015. Each schedule includes a fixed charge per acre plus water charges. Prior to each irrigation season, the Board will analyze several variables and determine whether to use the normal year or dry year rates.
| Irrigation Rates - Effective 2015 | Irrigation Rates - Effective | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Year Fixed Fee per Acre | $60 | $60 | $60 | $60 | |||
| Dry Year Fixed Fee per Acre | $68 | $68 | $68 | $68 | |||
| Volumetric Rates (AF per Acre): | Volumetric Rates (AF per Acre): | ||||||
| Tier 1 | $2 | Tier 1 - Tier 3 (Up to Available Water) | $2.70 | $3.23 | $3.83 | ||
| Tier 2 | $3 | ||||||
| Tier 3 | $15 | ||||||
| Tier 4 | $20 | Tier 4 (Over Available Water) | $20 | $20 | $20 | ||
TID irrigation customers have not experienced a rate increase since 2015. Given the increased costs to provide reliable irrigation water, increased maintenance of aging infrastructure, and the increased customer demands on our system, it is necessary for TID to take a hard look at the changing cost of providing reliable irrigation water.
