August 2025 Board Meeting

Consolidated Irrigation District - August 5, 2025 Board Meeting Recap

Three Major Takeaways:

Proposition 218 Rate Increase Approved: The Proposition 218 election to increase water assessments passed with 66.37% approval, representing a 2-to-1 margin of victory. This rate increase will raise assessments significantly - from $53 to $76 per acre for CID rate users, from $64 to $89 per acre for turf water users, and from $22 to $31 per acre for groundwater-only users. The district emphasized this increase is necessary to fund SGMA compliance, maintain operations, and construct infrastructure to capture an additional 100,000 acre-feet of water during flood years.
