GVWUA

GVWUA and the Reclamation Service developed the Grand Valley Project. This federal project irrigates the higher ground north of the Colorado River in the Grand Valley of Mesa County, Colorado. GVWUA has operated the Grand Valley Project since its completion and repaid the cost of its construction... At the outfall of Tunnel Three, GVWUA diverts water from the Canal into the Stub Ditch for the Mesa County Irrigation District and the Price Ditch for the Palisade Irrigation District. GVWUA also provides water to both Districts through Main Canal Headgates on the Canal between Tunnel Three and Indian Wash east of 28 Road... GVWUA operates the Cameo Diversion Dam, the 55-mile-long Government Highline Canal, and 150 miles of piped and open laterals, providing irrigation water to more than 23,000 acres of land from Indian Wash near 28 1/2 Road to 5 Road northwest of Mack.
