	Irrigation We currently provide irrigation to approximately 500 residential customers year round. We also provide irrigation to most of our local schools and contractors. During our summer months, we provide irrigation twice monthly and once monthly during our winter months. For the 13th consecutive year, Queen Creek Water Company has been able to keep the charge for irrigation at .40 per 1,000 gallons. In addition, depending on your location there could be a $3.00 open and close valve fee. Sales tax of 8.3% and a Water User Tax of .0065% applies to all areas.

The boiling point of water gets lower as you go up in altitude. At beach level, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. But at 5,000 feet, about where Denver is located, water boils at 202.9 degrees F, and up at 10,000 feet it boils at 193.7 degrees F. This is because as the altitude gets higher, the air pressure (the weight of all that air above you) becomes less. Since there is less pressure pushing on a pot of water at a higher altitude, it is easier for the water molecules to break their bonds and attraction to each other and, thus, it boils more easily.
