Clear Lake irrigation supply to be cut       

Ty Beaver, H&N's staff reporter

   Irrigators in the Langell Valley and Horsefly irrigation districts will see about half their water supply from Clear Lake cut beginning July 7.

 

   Kevin Moore, spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Klamath Basin office, said the cutoff is because of a water shortage at the lake caused by a lack of precipitation during the water year.

 

   Of the 26,000 irrigated acres in the two districts, Moore said about 10,000 will go without water from the lake.

 

   Moore said the Bureau of Reclamation discussed the possibility of a water shortage with the affected irrigators earlier this year, and they are prepared for it. The cutoff in those two districts will not impact the rest of the Klamath Reclamation Project.

 

   Requests for comment Thursday from the two irrigation districts were not immediately returned.
