2003 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The WWDC recently completed a level II study of the Highline Canal which diverts from Trapper Creek. The District would like to implement the recommendations made in the study to replace the diversion structure, convert approximately 2 miles of open ditch to pipeline, and install new delivery structures. Improvements to this delivery system would benefit the irrigators along the Highline canal as well as the residents of the community of Shell. Past WWDC projects completed for the Shell Valley Watershed Improvement District include Shell Canal and Lake Adelaide.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the Rehabilitation Program at Level III with an appropriation of $531,000. The project financing will include a 50% grant ($265,500), and a 50% loan ($265,500) at 6% for 30 years.
