PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Fayette Irrigation District formed in July, 1998, but the
Fayette Ditch is a very old irrigation system. The original
appropriations date back to 1906, with the bulk of the adjudicated
lands now in a 10 acre minimum lot size subdivision. There is
one ranch with approximately 300 acres. There are 2129 acres to
be assessed, of which approximately 1000 are currently irrigated.
The canal system is in need of rehabilitation, with some lands not
able to obtain their water, and severe erosion occurring in sections
of the main canal.
The Level II study conducted an inventory of the system, identified
needed rehabilitation and improvements, examined the potential for
an improved water supply, and prepared conceptual designs and cost
estimates for those items.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated in the Rehabilitation
Program at Level III, however, the Select Water Committee removed
the project from consideration.
