1. Summer Irrigation Season Set to Begin June 5th The Board directed staff to begin diversions on Monday, June 2nd, with first deliveries starting Friday, June 5th. This is approximately one week earlier than last year's start date. The decision was driven by concerns that delaying surface water deliveries causes groundwater levels to drop significantly, as growers rely heavily on wells for early-season irrigation. Under current supply projections, the run is expected to last approximately 30–34 days, ending around late June to mid-July depending on start date and ramp-up, with the June 5 start scenario ending around July 6.
