The Ashley Valley Water & Sewer Improvement District has distributed an important message stating that 2026 Water Rates are in effect and rates are higher than 2025. “We are in extreme drought conditions,” shares the message. “Mandatory conservation efforts are now in place and customers need to limit outdoor use. 2026 Conservation Rates will be applied to May water usage. Bills will increase SIGNIFICANTLY if outdoor use is not reduced. Please note: 2026 conservation rates are posted on our website. Use the rate calculator to compare last summer to this summer pricing. With recent rain, you should not be watering outdoors. Follow the lawn watering guide for proper timing.” The recommended actions to avoid high bills are to limit outdoor use and check for indoor and outdoor leaks and repair immediately.
