Revised Financing-Cost Structure For:
Odessa Sub-Area Groundwater Replacement Surface
Water Service Contracts Annual Assessment/Acre
What Should Be Done?
1. The East Low Canal Water Service Contracts should be immediately released to the
Private Sector Irrigators.
2. All off-Canal water delivery systems (pumps and pipes) are built and financed by Private
Irrigators, with direct Private Sector Financing. The Irrigators’ Private Capital lenders
have approved $42 million, and provided direct commitments for up to $100 million with
the release of the Water Service Contracts.
3. With completed project construction, water delivery system operational control is
managed by the East Columbia Basin Irrigation District/USBR (turn-key projects built
by the Privates).
4. Under state irrigation district law, the ECBID cost allocation can only cover costs that
are incurred for actual benefits/services:
