The Lindmore ID Board of Directors announced an updated 2020 water allocation and water rate :
- 1.0 AF of water per acre of land
- $65 per acre foot for Ag water (pumped water add $10 per acre foot)
- Effective April 15, 2020
FAQ's:
- What makes up our rate? (Assuming we deliver 40,000 acre feet of water)
- Fixed Costs (Friant O&M, Exchange Contractor Water Costs, Water Legal Defense, Bond Service, etc.) $43.18 Acre/Foot
- USBR cost of water $46.56 Acre/Foot
- Delivery (Admin., O&M) $41.96 Acre/Foot

- District costs have stayed relatively stable over the last 10 years.
- What factors have impacted the District's allocation from the USBR?
