The Turlock Irrigation District will meet Tuesday, at 9 a.m. to approve elements of the Lateral 8 Regulating Reservoir Project.

The Lateral 8 Regulating Reservoir project is located at the end of the Highline canal, approximately 0.1 miles down Geer Road, east of Lander Avenue in Hilmar. Currently owned by the Hilmar County Water District (HCWD), TID is seeking to approve the purchase of the property directly north of the head of Lateral 8, east of Lateral 7. The property contains an abandoned water treatment facility at the intersection of two canals and approximately 19 acres of farmland which is currently rented out by HCWD.

TID began pursuing research related to the acquisition of the property in 1998 but never purchased; due to the impending drought and state legislation relating to water, they revisited the issue because of increased need in January 2014.

According to their research on the property, Lateral 8 could be operated as a cost effective regulating reservoir for the adjacent canals and would offer the opportunity to capture and save spills from the Highline canal, which TID estimates to be a yearly average of 2,550 acre-feet of water. Additionally, it would stabilize flows downstream by pumping to fill shortages in water supply from downward fluctuations.

TID estimates the cost of the acquisition of land and needed modifications for the existing 7 acre water treatment facility at $2.16 million. The cost to purchase the 25.5 acres of land from HCWD stands at $663,000.

TID notes that expansion of the reservoir is possible and would increase the opportunity for water saving and flexibility in downstream irrigation.

The TID Board of Directors will vote on the recommended approval of the contract to purchase the property and approve the Lateral 8 project.

The TID Board will meet Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 9:00 a.m. in the Board Room of the TID Main Office Building, 333 E. Canal Dr.

    for Cocoa Puffs. We hope the TID Board has some sense to questions what Santos was thinking in Sunday's article. He is up for re-election (thank goodness) next year, we think he is trying to save his seat. Are TID board members allowed to do this without some review or observation? Where is the GM about this?

  • PaulWatkins on How does a real estate agency work? "Hi Dans Andrew, I'm glad you have made the right decision because a real estate agency is a promising career. Real estate agency involves dealing with properties either for selling or purchasing. When a client comes to a real estate agency to sell a property, it is the estate agent's job to find a buyer. If the agent finds a buyer and closes the deal at a good price for both parties, the estate agent gets a 1% commission from both buyer and seller. This is how real estate agencies work, and estate agents earn."

  • dans on How to choose the right weight loss clinic? "A reputable weight loss clinic should preferably include counseling while being overseen by a doctor or other qualified medical expert. However, some weight-loss facilities allow clients to quickly obtain weight-loss medications and leave without providing a thorough medical history or seeking a physician's opinion. You should stay away from these types of locations because they're dangerous and probably won't result in long-term weight loss. Find a facility that focuses on the behavioral treatment or lifestyle counseling instead. They can provide you with the tools you need to make healthy decisions and advice on how to fit exercise into your daily schedule. Some of these tactics include keeping track of your meals and keeping a weekly workout log."
  • paul on Why are customer reviews important during online shopping? "The most crucial component of every online store is its customer reviews. Reviews can assist other customers in determining whether or not the business and its items are worthwhile purchases. If you earn positive evaluations, your brand will gain an enormous reputation and rank better on Google. According to Google's recently modified algorithm, a business can increase its performance by obtaining reviews. This is the rationale behind inquiries about reviews on Google, Facebook, and other online clothing stores for women."
