East Fork Modernization Gets Federal Funding

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced Thursday the East Fork Irrigation District Modernization Project is one of three projects in Oregon that will receive funding under the recently implemented Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.  Ag Department officials say modernizing the East Fork Irrigation District infrastructure will conserve water, reduce energy use, improve reliability, increase public safety, and enhance fish and wildlife habitat in the Hood River watershed.  Funds will go towards design of high-priority laterals and the Dukes Valley Canal.  The funding comes from a pair of programs:  the Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations Program and the Watershed Rehabilitation Program.  A specific dollar amount for the East Fork project was not announced, but over $2.7 million dollars is being invested in the three Oregon projects, with the others in Tumalo and Owyhee irrigation districts.
