Queen Creek Irrigation District
Constructed in 1985, the Queen Creek Irrigation District (QCID) services nearly all of the city of Queen Creek and its neighboring areas; as well as supplementing the Chandler Heights Citrus irrigation. QCID stretches east from Power Road to Schnef Road, and south from Germann Road to Hunt Highway, encompassing around 23,000 acres, 16,000 acres of which are irrigable. Fed mostly by groundwater, but amplified by Central Arizona Project (CAP) water, the QCID has constructed a ‘cast-in-place’ pipeline for their waterways (meaning the ‘canals’ are piped, underground). Currently, there is a three member Board of Directors heading the District, and there are two-full time employees and one part-time employee at the QCID office.
