2024 Irrigation END of Season Update Announcement
hatch valley and mesilla valley
estimated end of season date
Elephant Butte Irrigation District has reached the end of another successful irrigation season.
All final water deliveries will be completed by the specified end date, as the system will soon be out of water. Anticipate high demand for end-of-season water orders. Act promptly – Use it or Lose it! Be prepared to collect water upon notification and be ready to water at any scheduled time, including day or night, weekends, or holidays. Kindly note that the end-of-season closing date may be adjusted due to ongoing monsoonal events. However, rest assured that the final day to place orders will remain unchanged.
EBID advises farmers not to purchase extra water unless they are certain they can use it by the end of season deadlines. Water balances are not carried over to the next season and water left in accounts unused provides no benefit.
