COID Wins Federal Approval For Closed Pipe System

The Central Oregon Irrigation District Modernization Project has won federal approval. Managing Director Craig Horrell says they will convert 8-miles of open ditch on Pilot Butte canal to an underground closed-pipe system. He says this means more water will be delivered to patrons more efficiently while leaving more water in the Deschutes River. Horrell says the district will receive 25-million federal dollars for the project and the district must put up a 25-per cent match. The construction begins in October
