Turlock Irrigation District

Did you know TID owns and operates over 250 miles of canals, some of which have been in service for well over 100 years? Regular maintenance of these canals is crucial for the District to continue providing reliable and safe irrigation water to our customers. The winter, which is irrigation off-season, is the best time for our Construction and Maintenance crews to conduct this maintenance.

The TID Board of Directors are holding an irrigation rate public hearing at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, January 14 and will consider adopting proposed rate changes. TID customers can learn more, ask questions, and provide feedback about the irrigation rate proposal at the public hearing. For more information about the proposed rate changes or how to submit a rate protest, visit https://lnkd.in/gEMVmRHg.

Turlock Irrigation District has been able to pioneer the use of innovative technologies through its Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) program and Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations (FIRO) program.

"I was honored to personally present the Excellence in Innovation and Technology to the Turlock Irrigation District (TID)", stated CSDA President Pete Kampa. "As one of the first special districts formed in the state of California, TID continues to strategically push to the cutting edge of innovation in the water and power industry, much to the benefit of their customers and the population in general. By implementing this technology, they not only maximized hydroelectric power generation and its revenue, but also at the same time kept this local reservoir in a pristine, full condition to the benefit of recreation, the environment, agricultural community and the local economy." #CSDAmagazine #Highlight #CSDAawards #Technology #CSDAdistricts
