Tieton Irrigation Project Nearing Completion in Yakima County
The Yakima Republic reports steady progress on the Tieton irrigation project in Yakima County. Engineer Doolittle notes engineering challenges are being overcome and the project is advancing as expected. The lower canal elevation expands the 4000 acre survey area, with $1,260,000 appropriated. Topographic surveys began last March, covering 84 square miles. 12 miles of main canal excavated along Tieton canyon, with over two miles of tunnel planned and most open canal to be concrete lined. Water rights under the government ditch cost about $55 per acre, considered reasonable due to proximity to North Yakima. The lands, near the city, are highly valued for fruit production and attracting buyers.
