Madera Irrigration District begins water season

The Madera Irrigation District water season has begun.

At a meeting held on April 4, the rate was set to $110 per acre foot for Original District landowners, and $300 per acre foot for Subordinate landowners. These rates may be reviewed and adjusted as conditions change throughout the year.

“After a historic 2023 season, the longest on record for MID, we are excited that the 2024 season is already kicking off,” said Jim Erickson, MID Board President. “Our crews have had only three short months to perform many maintenance tasks and complete numerous infrastructure projects after moving hundreds of thousands of acre feet of water through our system last year. The MID staff has been working hard to prepare the system for deliveries and now the 2024 season is set to begin.”
