What is different here
Local notes for Clifton
The parts that change with your address: water, permits and where the cooler sits. Everything else, from timing to troubleshooting, is the same valley-wide.
Clifton Water District
The district describes its service area as bounded by 30 Road on the west, I-70 on the north, 34 1/2 Road on the east and the Colorado River on the south, plus some residents south of the river and in Whitewater. It was formed in 1951.
Coolers in the summer peak
The 2023 regional water plan says Clifton Water District demand in July runs 2.2 times January, due to lawn irrigation, evaporative cooler demand and other seasonal use.
Irrigation is separate
The same plan says about 70 percent of homes in the district also have irrigation water from separate irrigation districts. A cooler's water line normally comes off the house plumbing, so the drinking water provider is the one that matters for it.
Permits
Clifton is unincorporated, so building permits go through Mesa County Building.
