PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Midvale Irrigation District would like to convert approximately 7 miles of an open, unlined
canal known as the Pilot Canal, into a gravity-pressurized pipeline serving the Hidden Valley
area. Hidden Valley is located along the Wind River at the top end of Boysen Reservoir. The
proposed system would include a small earthen fill dam and regulation reservoir in the natural
drainage below P36.8 wasteway. When full, the reservoir would provide a 2 1/2 day supply for the
Hidden Valley area. The gravity pressurized system would serve approximately 2,200 acres and
would conserve an estimated 13,000 acre-feet of water once flood irrigation is converted to
sprinkler irrigation and conveyance efficiencies are increased.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
