Water is ordered on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Either:
- Call or text 424-2253 between the hours of 3:00pm and 5:00pm and leave a voicemail with your first and last name, ditch, headgate, amount you want to order and how many days you want water or
- Avoid telephone busy signal and wait time by ordering on those same days via our website. Website/email ordering is done between 5:00am-3:00pm. Follow the instructions to fill the order form. It is quick, easy and provides the information needed to process your water order. Within a few minutes of submitting of your order, you will receive an email from OCID acknowledging receipt.
Water is turned on / off on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. The minimum order is .25 cfs/day and a minimum run time of two days. The maximum length of time your water order can run is seven days.
OCID has two ditch riders. Jeff Widener, our water superintendent and ditch rider for the Butte ditch. Joe Gorrod is the ditch rider for the Fogg ditch. If you have questions related to the ditch, your headgate, etc…, please call 835-3168 during business hours.
When ordering water by phone, you will be asked to provide the following information:
- Name on Account (you must own the water or have permission to order)
- Which ditch your water is delivered through: Fogg or Butte
- How much water you want to order (no less than .25)
- How many days you want to order (minimum of 2 days, if ordered on Friday or Tuesday and minimum of 3 days, if ordered on Thursday)
- Headgate number (If you do not already know this, check to see if it is painted on the main diversion to your property. If it is not, notify our office and a ditch rider will assist you.)
The number of days a user can run water is dependent on the chosen start date and the amount of water available in a user’s account.
