PROJECT INFORMATION:
The district serves 218 irrigators and 23,800 irrigated acres. In 1992,
the sponsor requested funding for a Level II rehabilitation study of
their facilities. A Level II study was completed in 1994. The Level II
study evaluated the existing water supply facilities, identified needed
improvements, presented preliminary designs and cost estimates, and
developed a prioritized rehabilitation plan.
The rehabilitation plan identified rehabilitation of a check structure,
800 lineal feet of canal lining, and repair of three wasteways as
priorities. These improvements will increase the efficiency of the
existing irrigation system and serve to reduce operation and maintenance
costs.
Presently, the sponsor is completing the legal requirements for project
financing. Construction should commence in the fall of 1996.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is needed on this project.
