A CONSERVATION PIPING PROJECT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
It is our goal to work with you in advance of construction to minimize impacts on your property. Part of that work includes identifying any private or undocumented utilities that may be disturbed during construction. We are happy to schedule a time to meet and discuss your property.
As part of Central Oregon Irrigation District’s (COID) plans to modernize infrastructure and conserve water, construction on year two of the Pilot Butte Canal Piping Project is anticipated to begin in your area in late September 2021. We are providing advance notice due to the proximity of upcoming construction work to your property.
We understand that you may have questions about the piping project and impacts to your property. COID and our construction partner, Taylor Northwest, have thoughtfully considered the impact this project may have on residents and properties that border this section of canal.
The piping project is part of COID’s System Improvement Plan to implement water conservation practices and support sustainable agriculture. During the irrigation season, COID loses up to 50 percent of water to evaporation and seepage from canals and laterals. Piped canals mitigate these losses and conserve a significant portion of the water.
We look forward to working with you during this important conservation project and are available to respond to questions or concerns.
