PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Level II project inventoried and assessed the condition of the canals and appurtenances,
surveyed canal alignments and grades, evaluated the feasibility of needed repairs, prepared
preliminary designs and cost estimates for reasonable alternatives, and explored financing options.
The Horse Creek Conservation District has received a total grant appropriation of $246,600 for
100% of invoiced materials accepted by WWDC. The labor and equipment, engineering design
and inspection, and all other project costs are financed by the district.
In 1999 the sponsor replaced the highest priority ditch segment with pipe. An extension of that
ditch was placed in pipe in 2000. The engineer is designing construction for 2001 and subsequent
years for construction by district forces. The Horse Creek Conservation District plans to
rehabilitate approximately 8 open laterals (about 18,500 lineal feet) with plastic pipe and liners over
several years.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
