Welcome to the Aberdeen-Springfield Canal Company

Notice: July 17, 2026

Dear Shareholders,

We want to provide an update regarding your 2026 storage water allotment and our current water outlook.

When the preliminary storage allotments were distributed, we communicated that the transition to storage occurred on July 1, 2026. After receiving the official accounting from Water District 1, we confirmed that the actual transition to storage occurred on July 4, 2026.

Your storage allotment has now been updated to reflect this correction. Water delivered between July 1 and July 3 remained natural flow and was not charged against any shareholder's storage account. The revised allotments account for these three additional days of natural flow.

The longer than expected natural flow season has also improved our overall storage outlook. Based on the current system-wide usage, we now anticipate operating into late August or early September. These projections are based on total canal deliveries and do not account for variations in individual shareholder water use. As a result, actual operating dates may change depending on weather conditions, demand, and overall system usage. 

We plan to continue providing water outlook updates approximately every two weeks. In addition, we intend to post weekly water outlook updates on our website at www.ascanal.org, so shareholders have access to the most current information throughout the irrigation season.

We want to thank our shareholders for their cooperation and dedication to extending the irrigation season as long as possible. Better than expected runoff conditions, combined with shareholders' willingness to work within the delivery schedule, have helped extend the projected irrigation season. We appreciate your continued flexibility and commitment as we make the best use of the water available. As we move through the remainder of the season, please continue conserving water where practical and work with your ditch rider to identify opportunities that fit your operation and help extend the season as long as possible.

If you have any questions regarding your allotment or the current water outlook, please get in touch with the ASCC office.

If you would like to receive these notices by text message in the future, please text ALERT to 22300.
