owner.
c. If the owner does not request a meeting, or if a meeting
is held but the owner does not thereafter cure any
violation or cease a course of conduct that is or may

Creek Subdivision Homeowners Association, may
enforce these covenants, conditions, and restrictions by
court action, employing any and all available legal and
equitable remedies.
d. Attorney fees and costs incurred in enforcing these
covenants, conditions, and restrictions shall initially be

action is granted to the party or parties who initiated the
action then judgment for all costs and attorney fees
incurred in the action shall be entered.against the party
who failed to abide by these covenants, conditions, and
restrictions. Further, said judgment shall be a lien on the
lot or lots where the noncompliance occurred, regardless
of record ownership of said lot or lots. If it becomes

in the same manner as enforcement of a judgment lien
and the amount of the attorney's fees and costs incurred
for enforcement shall be added to the amount of the lien.

above provided, shall be lien against the lot for which
payment has not been made. Said lien may be perfected

Cottonwood Irrigation District Policy for New Land Owners
Landowners should follow these guidelines when planning to use Cottonwood Irrigation
District water.
("'.')"692
.. u I. ~
Your Share- You are allowed 33/40 rain bird per acre. One rain bird is defmed as delivering 6
gallons per minute. Here it is in simpler terms: "Y ou get 5 gallons per minute per acre during
ordinary water seasons."
Water Turns - During some dry seasons water turns are needed and users will have to shut off
part of the time. Landowners are notified there responsibilities during those times by phone calls,
newspaper public notices, radio notices, website notices, printed fliers, and word of mouth. With
everyone participating in cutbacks we are able to maintain water pressure for everyone in the
system in spite of the shortage.
Delivery of Water - If you purchase land and there are no risers on your property you will have
to fmd a riser near your property. Get a removable valve opener and flexible hose. Then obtain
permission to run a line across your neighbor's property. As of 6 February 2001 there have been
no more tapping into the existing system as had previously been done. Only surface lines will be
allowed on Cottonwood Irrigation District right of ways. This enables repairs to the main line to
take place with minimal interference.
Season Dates - The ìrrigation season usually goes from 15 May through 15 October with some
variations from year to year. There is no water in the line during the winter.
Website .;; New landowners should aecess the Cottonwood Irrigation District website at
home.silverstar.com/....cid and read it completely. This will answer many questions. It helps one t<
be an informed and knowledgeable user of water.
Use of Mainlines - Landowners should draw their water from the mainlines that have historically
been used. If a landowner were to switch and draw ITom another main1ine there is a possibility
that it could place a demand on that line that exceeds that line's design capacity. This could result
in inadequate pressure for one or more landowners.
Sharing of Risers - Throughout our system sharing of risers will take place. This means that if a
riser is a few feet inside your property, you are to allow your-neighbor to cross the fence and use
that riser for that setting. Then he is allowed again to change it and move it to a new riser as he
moves from one setting to the next. This is not considered trespassing. You do not own the risers
and mainlines even though they may be on yöur property.
Tbe Water Board - The elected commissioners constitute the .water board. They have extensive
legal authority with regard to the operation of the system. If there arises any question on a matter
it is good to check with the water board for counsel and approval.
