Dinuba – At its regular meeting on April 13, the Alta Irrigation District Board of Directors took action approving May 1 as the start date for the 2017 Water Run. District staff was also authorized to adjust the entitlement and irrigation schedules, as needed, to protect the integrity of the ditches and to adapt to changes in weather patterns, runoff forecast, and storage in Pine Flat Lake. Entitlement for 100% lands was set for 3 days per 20 acres at 1 cfs with the number of days prorated based on entitlement category (visit www.altaid.org for updates).
