Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District <br /> <br />Diversion and distribution works in the Wellton-Mohawk <br />project which were completed by the Bureau of Reclama- <br />tion in 1952 were constructed to serve the membership of <br />the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District <br />(hereinafter the district), an irrigation district organized <br />and existing under the laws of the state of Arizona. The <br />original repayment contract entered into between the <br />United States through the Department of the Interior and <br />the district on March 4, 1952, provides for the delivery to <br />the district of a supply of water as may be reasonably <br />required for the irrigation of up to 75,000 acres. In addi- <br />tion to providing for t)le construction of carriage and <br />distribution works, the repayment contract provided that <br />an amount of $1,011,600 might be expended by the United <br />States for construction of drainage facilities. Article <br />7(a)(iv) of the repayment contract of March 4, 1952, <br />provides that the construction of drainage facilities shall <br />be subject to agreement in writing of the Board of Directors <br />of the district. <br /> <br />Because of conditions prevailing in the Wellton-Mohawk <br />project due to rising groundwater, the repayment contract <br />was amended on September 1, 1959, with the approval of <br />district officials to provide for the expenditure of addi- <br />tional sums in the construction of a drainage system!" <br /> <br />18 Design of the drainage canal was approved by the Board of Directors <br />of the district at a meoting with offic.ials of the Bureau of Reclamation on <br />November 13, 19'58.
