TCID Sets 100% Water Year for Farmers

On February 5th, the Truckee-Carson Irrigatgion District Board of Directors set the 2019 water allocation at 100%. With 60% of the February snowpack already accumulated in the first week of the month, president of the board, Eric Olsen, said he felt comfortable setting the allocation. “Do we trust Mother Nature, no — but I trust what’s up there and we should set the allocation so people can plan,” he said. TCID will begin taking water orders for all divisions on March 1st, with system start up on March 15th. The TCID Board of Directors will monitor water usage, change allocation percentage, and/or modify end of season dates as needed.  Please visit the TCID Website for additional information.
