What are easements for?
An easement is a grant of permission by a landowner that provides a legal right for Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District to install water related facilities, to access those facilities and to maintain and upgrade those facilities in the future. Easement locations for Jordan Valley Water can be found below.
Jordan Valley Water has a pamphlet outlining the importance of maintaining an easement on your property. All applicants must follow the Guidelines* below in order to encroach within the easement.
