Attention shareholders!
As we continue our historic use research, the Verde Ditch commissioners, staff and attorney ask you to assist us in gathering any historic information you may have or are aware of. These can include items such as maps, documents, agreements and any other evidence you feel might be relevant. Currently we are contacting long time Verde Valley residents in hopes that they can provide us with history regarding water use in the past. If you know someone that may have knowledge of the history of the Verde Valley, please contact us.
Notice: restoring access
Over the past few years the Verde Ditch Commissioners have undertaken the long term project of restoring access to the bank of the ditch. The Commissioners are court appointed officers and are instructed by the court to maintain and operate the ditch. Per the Rules and Regulations dated August 8, 1989 the Commissioners are granted a right if usage to access the ditch at all times. There have been several instances where the ditch has had an obstruction that was too large to remove by hand and large equipment was needed to remove; however it was impossible to get a piece of equipment on the bank because of structures on the bank. This condition has the potential to cause severe property damage so the Commissioners are currently undertaking this project. Please help the Commissioners accomplish this in order to improve your ditch. when you see the crews please cooperate with the workers. Thank you.
The Commissioners are governed by “Rules and Regulations” promulgated by an Arizona Superior Court in 1989. In the Rules and Regulations there are limitations to the construction of fences, buildings and other structures along the ditch. Section 3 prohibits any structure that interferes with the Commissioners ability to access the ditch. The Rules and Regulations are posted on our website here, or you can pick a copy up at 432 S. 1st Street in Camp Verde. We would like to bring this to the attention of any property owner along the ditch. If your property has any structure that may impede access to the ditch we would ask you to remove it. If you have any questions regarding your specific property please feel free to call the office and schedule an appointment with one of the Commissioners.
