East Highline Reservoir and Intake Channel project

East Highline Reservoir and Intake Channel project

The proposed project includes a single bay reservoir facility, covering approximately 370 acres, which would manage up to 3,400 acre-feet of water. The water managed in the proposed reservoir would then gravity flow into the East Highline (EHL) Canal, one of three main canals that branch off the All-American Canal (AAC), a facility owned by the U.S. Department of Interior through the Bureau of Reclamation, serving the water service area of IID. Water temporarily stored in the proposed reservoir would be delivered to serve downstream agricultural demands through an automated gate outlet with a gravity flow capacity of approximately 1,500 cfs for delivery into the EHL Canal. Water managed by the proposed reservoir would be delivered to agricultural water users. IID does not provide treated water service. The proposed project also includes an intake channel, which would branch off the north side of the AAC to convey the operational water flows from the AAC through an open channel canal to the proposed reservoir at a flow rate of up to 1,5000 cubic feet per seconds (cfs).
