About Us The Early Years: Farmers and Irrigation The Draper Irrigating Company (later changed to Draper Irrigation Company) was established in 1888 by a gathering of local farmers who consolidated their water rights to shape a mutual stock company. These early investors/proprietors cooperated with their apparatuses and steeds to manufacture and maintain an arrangement of open irrigation canals and jettison to convey mountain water to their farms. In those early days, the company gave just irrigation water; there was no culinary water administration in draper, which was an unincorporated community. Adding Culinary Water Service The company began giving culinary assistance on a restricted basis around 1911. The framework developed piece by piece throughout the years as the need dictated. From the get-go, the culinary framework utilized untreated mountain water, with screens to sift through leaves and different flotsam and jetsam. During the 1930s, settling tanks were added to further clean the water. In 1952 the Board of Health stated that all together for local dairy farmers to sell Grade A milk, the water supply must be chlorinated, and the company agreed. In 1971, the company's treatment plant went into administration, utilizing sedimentation and flocculation techniques to treat the water. The plant was upgraded in 2004, utilizing a state-of-the-art microfiltration framework. The Pressure Irrigation System In 1994, the company replaced its exceptionally old flood irrigation framework with a pressurized irrigation framework utilizing channelled water. There were several reasons for this change: Flood irrigation utilizes considerably more water per acre, so pressurized irrigation monitors valuable assets Draper was rapidly changing from a farming community to a residential community, and pressurized irrigation is progressively suitable to residential communities The pressurized irrigation framework can make better utilization of the company's Utah Lake waster rights, rationing the great mountain waster for the culinary framework Company Structure Throughout its history, Draper Irrigation/WaterPro has been a non-profit, shareholder claimed, company. Although the water rights are privately claimed, they are possessed by the company, and not by individuals. Each investor's share in the company gives that person the privilege to utilize a particular amount of water. Water rights are not helped for speculation or sold for profit by any individual. Any profit made by the company is utilized to fabricate and maintain the infrastructure for conveying water to shareholders. In the last 1990s, WaterPro was created as a completely claimed subsidiary of Draper Irrigation Company. Draper Irrigation Company holds the water rights, while WaterPro claims the structures, vehicles, and gear; maintains the culinary and irrigation, framework, and gives client care to all the shareholders of Draper Irrigation Company. Shareholders pay their water charges (culinary and irrigation) to WaterPro, and all the representatives are utilized by WaterPro.
