Water is usually available from the end of April through the end of September. A typical year’s water allotment is 2.5 – 3.0 acre feet. In the irrigation district, all landowners receive the same amount of water. There is no disparity of one owner receiving more than another because of priority. Employees of Midvale (ditchriders) enforce this rule.

The USDA Soil Survey describes this soil as “consisting of deep, well drained sandy loams and sandy clay loams on alluvial fans”.
