Understanding your water charges
The annual basic charge and fees pay for water storage as well as the construction, operation and maintenance of SRP facilities, such as canals and laterals. The annual water delivery fee pays for any administrative costs that come with servicing your irrigation account. Additional charges occur when shareholders use more than their base allocation during an irrigation year. Learn how to read an irrigation bill or water statement or use our rate calculator to determine how much you can expect to pay for your annual bill.
