Central Washington’s Quincy-Columbia Basin Irrigation District plans to start filling the West Canal on Wednesday, March 16th, barring any unforeseen scheduling requirements. Priming will continue on smaller canals and laterals through the first week in April, depending on the weather and the demand for water deliveries.

Telephone recorders will be available on March 23rd in all watermaster offices for water ordering.  This service will be available on Saturdays and up to 11:30 A.M. on Sundays for the following Monday’s water order, throughout the season. After March 16th, waterusers are urged to contact their respective Watermaster headquarters to receive current information and schedules.
