What is different here
Local notes for Palisade
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.
Town water
The 2023 regional water plan lists the Town of Palisade as one of the four drinking water providers in the region. Ute Water's district boundary starts at Cameo, east of town. Your bill names your provider.
Permits
Mesa County Building handles building permits and inspections for the Town of Palisade, as well as unincorporated county.
Water questions go to your provider
Bleed-off, water use and hookup questions depend on who supplies your water. In town limits that is usually the Town; check your bill. The water-use explainer shows how evaporation adds up.
Same valley, same seasons
Startup in late April or May, shutdown in October, timed to NOAA normals from the Grand Junction airport station.
