1. Water Allocation Likely Dropping — Expect ~1.04 Acre-Feet per Acre at $325/Acre Although the Bureau of Reclamation has not yet officially announced a reduction, hydrology supports approximately an 85% allocation (down from 100%). If confirmed, grower allocations would shift from 1.13 acre-feet/acre at $297/acre to approximately 1.04 acre-feet/acre at $325/acre. The board tabled/deferred formal action on the revised budget, but growers should plan around the lower allocation figure and higher cost. Once the Bureau makes its official announcement, the district will communicate the updated allocation/rate guidance.
