2003 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Active Projects

 81. PROJECT:Midvale Conservation Program
LEVEL:New Application
SPONSOR:Midvale Irrigation District
LOCATION:Fremont County
PROGRAM:Rehabilitation

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Midvale Irrigation District requests a Level II feasibility study to determine potential water savings that could be realized by implementing conservation measures throughout their project. This study would include an inventory and assessment of structures/facilities currently in use, an estimate of the system's seepage and evaporation losses, proposed alternative methods to improve water conveyance, and estimated costs of such improvements. Improvements to this irrigation system would be implemented over a 10 to 20 year time period as an ongoing construction effort that would minimize financial impacts to the District water users.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the Rehabilitation Program at Level II with an appropriation of $300,000.
