1. Growers Should Use Remaining Allocation Before Canal Shutdown — Action Needed Soon The district delivered just under 5,000 acre-feet in August, well below the anticipated 8,000 acre-feet, suggesting many growers are holding allocation in reserve. With canal drawdown now expected to begin in early November (moved up from November 15), growers have a shrinking window to take delivery. Staff will be calling larger growers directly, and a letter was sent emphasizing that growers should not rely on the district being able to deliver water after shutdown. The final allocation remains at 1.1 acre-feet per acre, and Class 4 remains at 100%.
