Colorado River Indian Irrigation Project

The BIA is proposing to increase the Colorado River Indian Irrigation Project's operation and maintenance assessment rate per assessable acre for the first 5 acre feet of water to $30.00 in 1995, $31.50 in 1996, $33.00 in 1997, $34.50 in 1998, and $36.00 in 1999 and thereafter until further notice. The $3.00 increase to the current rate of $27.00 per acre in 1995 and the $1.50 increase per acre per year for the next four years 1996 through 1999 will offset cost increases for personnel, supplies, materials and services. The charge per acre foot of water in excess of this annual apportionment will be $11.00 per acre foot in 1995, $12.50 per acre foot in 1996, $14.00 per acre foot in 1997, $15.50 per acre foot in 1998, and $17.00 per acre foot in 1999 and thereafter, until further notice. The $3.00 increase to the current rate of $8.00 per acre foot in 1995 and the $1.50 increase per acre foot per year for the next four years 1996 through 1999 will offset cost increases for personnel, supplies, materials and services. The energy costs for pumped water will not be paid by the Project but will be billed directly to those receiving pumped water by the electric utility.
