Annual billings are sent out the first week of February. To receive your statement by email, please visit the Contact Us page and submit your request.
Properties within Benchland Water District boundaries pay a property tax rate for District operations and debt service. Properties outside District boundaries that are connected to and using the District’s water system are charged double the annual use fee because they do not pay Benchland Water District taxes.
Property owners may pay the adjusted fee, request service removal, or apply to annex into the District boundaries. Information packets are available by mail, in person at the District Office, or through the links below.

Benchland Water District provides pressurized irrigation water to users within District boundaries. Repairs, new service installations, and system maintenance may occasionally cause temporary service interruptions.
The District delivers irrigation water to the property user. Once water reaches the point of delivery, the management and service requirements become the responsibility of the user.
Do not use the District service valve. The valve installed between the curb and sidewalk, or at the property’s edge, is for District use only. Customers must control their irrigation system beyond the District valve. For questions, call (801) 451-2105.
Prompt payment of your annual service charge is required to maintain water service. Please include your account number with your payment to ensure proper credit.
Online credit card payments are available through the Billing Information page. Only payment in full will be accepted.
Non-payment of the annual use charge or one-time contract charge may result in termination of service.
Drought conditions may limit the irrigation water supply. Practicing conservation helps extend the availability of water throughout the irrigation season.
During drought conditions, please watch for notices regarding use restrictions or service limitations.
Customers living within District boundaries may qualify for a rebate on irrigation controllers or approved water conservation products while funds are available.
