Description:
(Tumalo Irrigation District)

$8.4 million in federal funds will support the Tumalo Irrigation District’s project to convert more than 10 miles of open canal to buried pipe. Plans call for construction of 82 turnouts, which will help prevent water loss from evaporation and seepage. Improvements are expected to improve water quality and conservation between Tumalo Creek and Crescent Lake, and help maintain water deliveries, while also improving habitat and water quality for Redband Trout and the Oregon Spotted Frog. Not all residents are happy with the project.

Chris Schull, Tumalo Irrigation District Manager joins the Exchange.
