Getting Water
Getting Water. I’m Greg Martin with today’s Fruit Grower Report.
GILBERT: We have just issued 16 new water right permits for the
15 of those permits are for ag use and Gilbert says there are more coming.
GILBERT: This is 52 acre feet today so that leaves us with 25-thousand more acre feet of water to allocate so we’ll be doing that periodically over the next several months.
If you have questions about securing water rights in the Quincy Basin Gilbert says to call their office. The 15 agricultural water rights have been spoken for so you will need to get placed on a list for the next group and she says there is a fee.
GILBERT: In addition to getting a permit from us the water right holder needs to get a license from the Bureau of Reclamation and there’s an associated annual fee for that.
That’s today’s Fruit Grower Report. I’m Greg Martin on the Northwest Ag Information Network.
