Roats Water System (RWS) will be conducting the annual water irrigation line blow-outs. The service will be performed free of charge with the following provisions:
• Irrigation will shut down on Sunday, October 13th.
• All sub-divisions must comply with the scheduling. Sub-divisions are slated for blow-outs in a specific order.
• RWS will not return to blow out any sub-division following its’ scheduled date.

Below is a mid-irrigation season update regarding your services with Roats Water System:
Roats Water System services: We provide your potable and non-potable (irrigation) water supplies. The City of Bend serves as your sewer system provider.
Your neighborhood is one piece of a larger system, formally known as Juniper Utility. The system includes five neighborhoods: Mountain High, Timber Ridge, Tillicum Village, Nottingham Square and The Pines. Roats purchased the former Juniper Utility from the City of Bend in 2016. The former Juniper Utility irrigation system is fully build-out based on capacity and will not be expanded to include additional connections.
Irrigation service will continue until mid-October: Irrigation water is delivered to Roats’ reservoir from Arnold Irrigation District. If Arnold is unable to continue water delivery in 2024 due to lack of water availability or canal pipe improvement projects, Roats will continue delivery of irrigation water through the end of the season from our groundwater source. The current irrigation rotation schedule will remain in effect for the remainder of the 2024 season. Customers will receive notification of the last irrigation day in mid-September via automated phone call. Please call our office if you would like to update your current contact information in our system.
Looking forward: We are actively working to further optimize the irrigation distribution system in conjunction with a new neighborhood rotation schedule for the 2025 season. We will reach out to your neighborhood’s HOA this fall to organize a customer user group to address optimization options in advance of the 2025 season. Please contact our office or your HOA should you have an interest in contributing to the group.
We thank you for your continued support and patience while our region works through the recent drought and conservation initiatives that have drastically changed the availability of irrigation water. Please don’t hesitate to contact our office should you have any questions.
