Easements & Right of Way

If you have an easement on your property, these resources will help you understand your responsibilities as a property owner.

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.

*Note: The Jordan Aqueduct has its own guidelines. Download those below.
