WETPACK will develop additional water supplies and delivery facilities to expand <br />the benefits of the Dolores Project. As part of WETPACK, the District has considered providing <br />additional water for irrigation and the fishery below McPhee, plus delivering Dolores Project <br />municipal and industrial water to areas that are not presently served. The District has been <br />evaluating WETPACK for the past five years. The feasibility study concluded that irrigation of <br />approximately 4,000 acres of presently dry farmed land is immediately justified with the other <br />WETPACK purposes to be served in future phases of WETPACK. <br />The District is now ready to actively pursue implementation of the first phase of WETPACK. <br />Please contact John Porter, the District manager, if you have questions or comments. <br />Sincerely, <br />onald W. Schwindt <br />Board President <br />
