Irrigation Modernization Program

Delivering Results in Central Oregon

Celebrating Phase 2 of Central Oregon Irrigation District’s Modernization Project

Realization of this project is the result of years of collaboration between North Unit Irrigation District and Central Oregon Irrigation District and will save 10,000 acre feet of water, an amount that would have extended the irrigation season another 2-3 weeks for Jefferson County farmers.

“We want to make the most of every precious drop of water we can and I am proud and pleased to be a part of this collaboration.”

– U.S. Senator Merkley (OR)
