The estimated percentage of water for 2026 is 65%.

DO NOT PULL more water than you are allocated, this is a short water year, and we are trying to ensure all users are able to get their water.

If it is found that you are taking more water than allocated, or using water when Project water is “In” you will be immediately cut off for the rest of the irrigation season!‍ ‍

The Florida Water Conservancy District(FWCD) administers project water, delivered through the Florida river to the Pioneer Ditch users.  Project water is water adjudicated to the FWCD that is stored in Lemon Reservoir and delivered to classified irrigable lands to which project water has been allocated.

The right to use Project water is transferred by deed, approved water reallocation petition, or approved water transfer petition. Assessments for project water are billed with your property taxes and should not be used on any land that is not classified as irrigable land.

How to determine this - you paying annual assessments for your project water directly to the Pioneer Ditch Company. On your annual assessment statement it will be reflected as Acre Feet of water rather than # of shares.
