What is different here
Local notes for Grand Junction
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.
Your water provider depends on the street
The 2023 regional water plan says City of Grand Junction water serves a 9 square mile area, mostly the center of the city and west Orchard Mesa. The rest of the city is served mainly by Ute Water, and partly by Clifton Water District. Your water bill names yours.
Coolers drive the summer peak
The same plan says City water demand in July runs 2.9 times January, mainly because of lawn irrigation and home cooler demand in the hot months.
Permits
Mesa County Building handles building permits and inspections for the City of Grand Junction. The City permits page is where to start with city planning questions.
The climate numbers on this site
The NOAA normals used across this site are from the Grand Junction Walker Field station at the airport. Neighborhoods vary a little; the seasons do not.
South of the river
Orchard Mesa
The 2023 regional water plan puts west Orchard Mesa inside the City of Grand Junction water service area. Elsewhere on Orchard Mesa, check your water bill: the plan names Ute Water as the main provider outside the City area.
The National Weather Service lists Orchard Mesa among the outlying areas of Grand Junction. For permits, Mesa County Building covers both unincorporated county and the City. Choose Orchard Mesa on the form.
Below the Monument
The Redlands
The regional water plan lists the Redlands Canal among the irrigation systems inside Ute Water's district boundaries. That makes Ute Water a likely drinking water provider here, but your bill is the only sure answer.
The National Weather Service lists the Redlands among the outlying areas of Grand Junction. Permits run through Mesa County Building. Choose Redlands on the form.
