SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In an effort to continue to re-vegetate and make minor improvements at and around the sheep bridge and north around the bank stabalization project at Riverfront Park the Park’s Department
has researched various ways to irrigate the property. The cost to apply for a temporary water right and irrigate with a storage water rental from water district #65 (Big Payette Lake
storage) is nominal to what it would cost to make the connection to the city water stub out to the north or sink a well. Future improvements will require either a full hookup or a
water right for a well to irrigate the park once developed.
At this time we are putting in for a temporary approval to establish native vegetation as advised by the Department of Water Recourses. The temporary permit will by us time and get
us irrigation water this fall and through the next few years as plants get established.
Note: The current Temporary Water Use has expired.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review Department of Water Resources Applications for Temporary Water Use and approve the Mayor to sign all necessary documentation.
