South Feather Mutual Aid Offer

On May 7, South Feather Water and Power sent this letter to the North Yuba Water District which:

• Notes that the Upper Forbestown Ditch has fallen into disrepair
• Indicates that, despite current drought conditions, the NYWD has up to 23,700 acre feet of water stored in South Feather's reservoirs
• Makes an offer for South Feather to offer mutual aid to safely repair the ditch providing for 30 cfs that would allow irrigation water for 2021
• Proposes that the cost, estimated to be less than $250,000, can be defrayed from the quarterly payments South Feather makes to the NYWD as part of the 2005 Agreement

In short, implementing this offer would provide irrigation water for Oregon House and Dobbins in 2021.
