Please carefully review the above options and make your selection for the 2024 irrigation year by submitting your information below. It is important that we have your correct horsepower so that we can bill your account accurately. There is also an Annual Horsepower charge of $19.50 per horsepower ($97.50 minimum). If you have a center pivot, multiply your total drive horsepower on your pivot by 25% to find your Billing horsepower for your center pivot. Then add the horsepower for your pump to this amount for your Total Billing Horsepower. 

In considering the choice of Option A or Option B, it is essential to try and determine how often you will be watering. If you water more than 45% of the month, choose Option B. If you begin watering during the last few days of the month and running over into the next month only a few days, you will not utilize the benefits of choosing Option B. In choosing Option C, it is essential to remember that you must irrigate during Off-Peak hours to avoid the On-Peak Demand Charge. Should you choose Option B, we encourage you to adapt your irrigation schedule based on the calendar month, as we will read Options B & C on the first day of each month. Again, please review all the information shown above.
