In addition to water tolls, NON stratified complexes are also charged for "A" grade irrigation taxes. The irrigation tax is based on GEID's assessment of the property and is based on acreage. "A" grade taxes are billed in October with payment due December 1st.
In addition to water tolls, stratified complexes, where GEID owns and maintains the water lines and valves within the complex, are charged an "S1" tax. These taxes are billed in October with payment due December 1st. In most cases, these S1 strata complexes have been built since 2008 and GEID has a statutory right of way registered within the property protecting its works.
Irrigation taxes are not charged on strata complexes that are assessed by GEID as "S" properties. GEID does not own nor maintain any of the works within "S properties. All valves, water mains and hydrants, etc., within an "S" property, as well as any costs for their maintenance, repair and replacement, are the responsibility of the strata owners.
