Maps and petitions push irrigation project forward
Maps for a Crescent Lake storage reservoir for irrigation are being prepared and will be sent to Washington with petitions signed by local farmers. Meiers Rogers and Rounds seek a right to use Crescent Lake, backed by prior Idaho projects like Owyhee and Payette, with officials vouching for capability and safeguards. The effort aims to start ditch surveying when snow clears, while land fraud cases, including the Hermann trial, loom in the background.
