Verde Ditch Shareholders,
The repairs have been made to the primary delivery ditch in order to get water to the shareholders. This partial fix will continue to work until the water level in the Verde River lowers. Once that happens, the more extensive repair will need to be scheduled in order to provide available water to the shareholders. During the repair, there will be an interruption in water delivery. When this will happen cannot be predicted due to the odd weather patterns. The duration of the interruption to water delivery during the repair cannot be predicted until the amount of damage to the diversion dam is assessed. We thank you for your patience. Either check back here or call 928-300-3103 for updates.

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.
