Well users who would like to request early exclusion may do so if they agree to forfeit warranties

If you would like to request early exclusion, please send a signed request to MVID by April 8th.
Please include the following in your letter: "I request immediate exclusion from the Methow Valley Irrigation District and understand that, by requesting immediate exclusion, I will forfeit warranties."
All owners of the parcel must sign the request
