About Sage Brush Irrigation Company
Pioneers, of the early 1800s, began work on creating a canal that brought extra water from the Provo River to help their fields and crops grow. The Spring Creek Ditch canal was one of the first canals in the Heber Valley and the Sage Brush canal was created by the construction of a ditch that cuts through the north field and then connected to the other canal to form one.
These early settlers had to be creative and smart when trying to find ways to make their new home hospitable for them and their families to live. This was no easy task because the dirt and rock in the ground were tough to dig through.
They named this company Sage Brush because of the large amount of sagebrush growing on the land lying west and south of Heber. The property owners around the area, not part of the Spring Creek Ditch, formed their company at around the same time to also protect the canal and the water rights of the shareholders.
