Kaysville City manages secondary water through three distinct providers: Benchland Water District, Davis & Weber Counties Canal Company, and Haights Creek. Because these entities are operated independently from the city, each maintains unique regulations, rates, and enforcement protocols for watering.
Watering advice for local residents
Residents are encouraged to check individual provider websites for specific information regarding outside watering and to ensure personal valves are closed before system pressurization to prevent flooding.
Benchland Water District schedule and rules
Benchland Water District announced that the start-up date to charge lines will be delayed to April 24 due to excessive winter snow accumulations. The district advises users to delay watering until landscapes require it and prohibits watering between 10 am and 6 pm to prevent evaporation.
Detailed Benchland watering frequency guidelines
Specific watering frequencies for Benchland include once every six days in April, once every four days in May, and once every three days during June, July, and August. In September, watering should occur once every six days, followed by once every ten days from October until the system shutoff.
Davis & Weber Counties Canal Co. updates
Davis & Weber Counties Canal Co. stated that the secondary water system will not be pressurized until May 1 due to continued snow and rain. The company requested that users continue to use water wisely to support the Great Salt Lake and river system storage. Their guidelines suggest watering no more than twice a week during May-June and September-October, and no more and three times a week during July and August.
Haights Creek Irrigation start dates
Haights Creek Irrigation will begin charging water lines on the morning of Monday, May 1. The process of filling all lines is expected to take approximately three to four days, with the upper parts of Fruit Heights and Kaysville receiving water on Monday morning and western Kaysville seeing water by Wednesday or Thursday.
Haights Creek watering restrictions and conservation
Haights Creek has implemented restrictions that strictly prohibit watering between 10 am and 6 pm. To support conservation, customers are asked to limit lawn watering to three days per week per cycle, using 20 minutes for pop-up sprayers and 40 minutes for rotator heads and drip systems. Additionally, users should not allow water to run off property or water when rain is forecast.
All three providers emphasize the importance of conservation and proper system maintenance. Davis & Weber Counties Canal Co. noted they are retrofitting existing services with meters and providing usage reports to help manage limited resources. Residents can find their specific service provider through the Kaysville City website.
