The Salem Canal and Irrigation Company, established in 1865, diverts water from the Spanish Fork River to irrigate crops in Salem, Utah. With its initial construction completed in three years, the canal runs from the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon through Salem to Payson Hill, serving as the primary source of irrigation water for over 2,400 acres of farmland in the Salem and Payson area. Incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1878, the Salem Irrigation and Canal Company has continuously upgraded the canal with concrete lining and piping while maintaining its historical significance. Today, it remains an essential entity in the agricultural landscape of Salem, providing vital water resources for local farmers.Generated from the website
