VANDALISM
The Verde Ditch experienced vandalism when someone cut the lock to access the pump at the confluence of Clear Creek and the Verde River and ran the pump that provides additional water to the Verde Ditch.  The pump shaft has been broken, or twisted, and no longer provides water to the Verde Ditch.  The estimate to replace the pump is at least $40,000.00.  There is a pump that has been loaned to the ditch and is serving in a TEMPORARY capacity.

Update June 2023
​The following pictures show some of the flood damage from the 2023 flood that happened this Spring.  The damage to the ditch will cost an estimated $70,000 dollars to repair.  The Ditch Masters have authorized a special assessment to help off-set the cost of the repairs.  This special assessment will be coming in the mail.  The commissioners are working hard to keep costs down and to maintain service to the shareholders while repairs are taking place.
