COLUMBIA BASIN – The East Columbia Basin Irrigation District announced it will begin to fill the East Low Canal for the 2025 irrigation season March 20. The East Low Canal serves Moses Lake, Warden, Othello and Connell.
Deliveries from the East Low Canal will begin to be available March 25. However, deliveries to the East District’s Block 49 from the Potholes East Canal will begin earlier March 17.
Irrigation deliveries will be dependent on the demand for individual lateral systems. Pump plants will also be started when orders are sufficient for the start-up of the plants.
According to ECBID, water users should contact their respective Watermaster Headquarters in Moses Lake or Othello or contact their ditch rider to receive current information and schedules.
