2026 End of irrigation season announcement
The Elephant Butte Irrigation District (EBID) announces the last day to order water is JUNE 19, 2026. All final water deliveries will be completed by JUNE 30, 2026. This marks the conclusion of the 2026 Irrigation Season, as the system will soon be out of water. Important Reminders for All Water Users:
Submit water orders promptly: Delays may result in missed opportunities as water may run out.
Anticipate high demand: End-of-season water requests are high. Act promptly — Use it or Lose it.
Be prepared: Growers must be ready to receive water anytime — day or night, weekends, or holidays.
Order responsibly: Do not purchase extra water unless you're sure it can be used before the season ends. Unused balances are forfeited.
Schedule awareness: The delivery end date may shift due to monsoonal activity, but the last day to order will not change.
We thank our growers and District members for their cooperation and commitment throughout the season. For updates and critical notices, visit www.ebid-nm.org or contact the District Office at 575-526-6671 or 575-524-8003.
