El Paso County Water Improvement District No. 1
(EPCWID No.1)

• Canal, Structure, Pond and Pumping Improvement
  Project
• The District is proposing improvements to the
  existing irrigation water transmission and
  distribution system in order to reduce water
  losses to seepage and evaporation and to provide
  a more efficient overall system operation.
• The projects proposed by the District include
• Concrete lining of three canal segments (Upper,
  Middle and Lower), construction of the Partidor
  and Wasteway No. 1 Check Structures to allow more
  concise and efficient management of water within
  the primary canal system
• Construction of a 3,000 acre-foot Socorro Pond to
  allow for the short term storage of water for
  equalization and peak shaving purposes and
• Construction of a pump station to allow transfer
  of water from the Partidor Check Structure to the
  proposed Socorro Pond and gravity return flow to
  the Riverside Canal below the Wasteway No. 1
  Check Structure.

Hudspeth County Conservation Reclamation District
No. 1 (HCCRD No. 1)

• Water Conservation Improvement Project
• The District is proposing two conservation
  projects.
• The first project consists of the construction of
  Alamo Arroyo Pumping Plant. The purpose of the
  pumping plant is to lift poor quality water from
  an agricultural drain into the Hudspeth Main
  Canal. Flow in the main canal includes higher
  quality water spilled by upstream irrigation
  districts. The pumping plant will salvage
  approximately 4,000 acre-feet of water annually.
• The second proposed project consists of
  reconstruction of a 1,000 acre-foot middle
  regulating reservoir, construction of inlet and
  outlet works for the reservoir, remote controlled
  gates on the inlet and outlet structure, and
  concrete lining of the portions of the Hudspeth
  Main Canal upstream and downstream of the middle
  regulating reservoir. The current middle
  regulating reservoir has accumulated silt and can
  only store water to a depth of approximately 3 to
  4 feet. The proposed project will remove the silt
  from the reservoir, rebuilt the reservoir
  embankments, and construct a new inlet and outlet
  structures.

Delta Lake Irrigation District (DLID)

• Water Conservation Improvement
  Project
• The District is proposing a Project that will be
  comprised of four separate components
• The first component, the Reservoir Renovation
  Project, consists of constructing seven diversion
  structures from a proposed by-pass canal along
  the eastern edge of the western reservoir of
  Delta Lake.
• The second component, the Seepage Recovery Pilot
  Project, will consist of a feasibility study into
  the possibility of collecting water that seeps
  from the Main Canal and pumping it back into the
  system.
• The third component, the Telemetry and Flow
  Measurements Sites Project, includes the
  installation of flow measurement devices at 20
  water diversion points to monitor deliveries and
  send this information, by telemetry, to the
  District headquarters.
• The fourth component, the Canal Rehabilitation
  Project, will replace approximately 17,800 linear
  feet of open channel laterals with new gasket
  joint PVC or RCP pipe.

Hidalgo and Cameron Counties Irrigation District
No. 9 (HCCID No. 9)
K Lateral Gate Replacement and Improvement
Project

• The purpose of this project is to help the
  district turn the water flow and level control of
  the main canal into an opportunity for greater
  efficiency by automating the K Lateral gates.
• By using sensors at each of the gate check
  locations and spill points to detect water level,
  and providing remote telemetry control and
  automation of the gates to meter water based on
  demand, the district expects to reduce excess
  spillage into the drains at the end of the
  lateral
• The District is proposing an upgrade of the
  current K and K-10 canal gates and adding
  automation and remote telemetry reporting and
  control of the Laterals gates.
• The project will replace the four manual vertical
  sluice gates on the K Lateral and the two
  vertical gates on the K-10 branch.
• Additionally, two sensor stations will be added
  to the end of each lateral to determine water
  level at the Weir spill points, which will be
  used as feedback to the automated gate to reduce
  flow and reduce spillage into the agricultural
  drains.

Hidalgo County Irrigation District No. 6 (HCID
No. 6)
Water Conservation Improvement Project

• The District is proposing a canal rehabilitation
  project that consist of
• Lining 10.2 miles of the Mission Main Canal
  between Lift Station No. 2 and Lift Station No.
  4.
• Renovation of the existing slide gate structures
  on the main canal with radial gate bays and
  remote reporting of the gate settings and water
  levels in the canal via telemetry units at each
  of the renovated sites.
• Feasibility Design of Northern Regulating
  Reservoir
• Feasibility Design of Backup Pump for Main
  Pumping Plant
