About Buckeye Water Conservation & Drainage District
Buckeye Water Conservation & Drainage District
BWCDD is an irrigation district (Arizona Revised Statutes Title 48, Chapter 19), with the power of drainage (Chapter 18); declared a municipal corporation by the State of Arizona. The primary purpose of the BWCDD is to assist agricultural endeavors by supplying irrigation water and power. It is also organized to protect farmland from alkali damage by running drainage wells. Secondary purposes include providing flood irrigation to homes and construction water to contractors. All power and water are sold within the District boundaries that encompass nearly 22,000 acres (per Maricopa County Assessor’s Office). Other endeavors may be undertaken to support these purposes.
