PROJECT INFORMATION:
A Conservation District is sponsoring this project for two irrigation
companies (pending the outcome of this study, the companies will form a
single irrigation district). The canal companies serve approximately 12
irrigators and comprise approximately 3000 acres (Goshen Mutual: 700
acres, Goshen Hole: 2,300 acres).
Goshen Mutual Ditch Company is interested in repairing or replacing
their diversion dam on Horse Creek. Repairs to the main supply canal
are also needed. Goshen Hole Ditch Company would like the WWDC to
investigate the feasibility of placing several thousand feet of open
ditch into pipe and improving turnouts and measuring devices.
The proposed Level II project will inventory and assess the condition of
the canals and appurtenances, survey canal alignments and grades,
evaluate the feasibility of needed repairs, prepare preliminary designs
and cost estimates for reasonable alternatives, and explore financing
options.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends that the project be incorporated into the
Rehabilitation Program at Level II with a proposed appropriation of
$70,000.00.
