Our Heritage
A century-old legacy of stewardship and reliable water delivery, grounding the future of our valley in the strength of its history.
1910 — Founding the Flow
Born from the necessity of collective action, Little Butte Irrigation was established by pioneering families who recognized that shared water meant shared prosperity. These early years were defined by hand-dug channels and a tireless commitment to the land.
1955 — Post-War Expansion
As the valley grew, so did our infrastructure. The mid-century brought modern engineering techniques to the ditch system, allowing for more precise water delivery to a new generation of orchards and agricultural ventures that remain the backbone of our community today.
Today — A Centenary Legacy
Now surpassing over 100 years of operation, Little Butte Irrigation, Co. remains a steadfast guardian of the valley's most precious resource. Our journey is a testament to the enduring power of community and the timeless value of reliable service.
