Request A Water Variance

poolIRWD encourages residential customers who need more water than their basic water budget provides to apply for a variance.

Variances are given for additional occupants, special medical needs, and larger landscaped areas, among other things. Variances are effective the date that the request is received by the District and must be renewed annually. 

All new customers receive a variance application with instructions. Customers who feel they qualify should complete a variance request form and return it to IRWD along with the required documentation. All incomplete applications will be returned. 


Customers can apply for a variance by using the online variance form or variance application.
