1. Groundwater Use Fee Self-Reporting Deadline Approaching (November 30th) The deadline for growers to self-report their 2025 water usage is November 30th. This includes surface water diversions, COVID cropping, and self-directed fallow reporting. The GSA is seeing significant COVID cropping (17,343 acres) and self-directed fallow (4,500 acres) reported so far, though these numbers appear lower than last year. Growers who miss the deadline may face complications with their true-up invoices, though staff indicated they will work with growers who contact them about delays. If you don't self-report, you'll receive a bill based on the information the GSA has, and there will be a process to request corrections or appeal if needed.
