The Truckee-Carson Irrigation District is a political subdivision of the State of Nevada, organized and chartered in 1918 for the purpose of representing water right holders within the boundaries of the Newlands Project. The District was formed, and is paid for, by landowners within the boundaries of the Newlands Project who own water rights with their land. The federal government is obligated, both contractually and statutorily, to serve these water rights. As a result, TCID’s first and fundamental obligation is to the farmers who are its constituents – promoting their rights and defending their interests with respect to the operations of the Newlands Project.
