VISTA FLUME REPLACEMENT ALIGNMENT STUDY
Board of Directors workshop scheduled for December 11, 2023, at 1:30 PM
On December 11, 2023 the Vista Irrigation District Board of Directors will hold the third workshop pertaining to replacement of the Vista Flume. At nearly 100 years old, the Flume has exceeded its usable service life, is unsuitable for reuse and should be retired. A Water Supply Planning Study was completed in March 2020 and found that replacement of the Flume was the least costly water supply option for the District. The Flume Replacement Alignment Study (Study) began in February 2021 and is designed to support a decision by the District as to the preferred replacement alignment for the Flume. The Study will review many factors that weigh in the comparison of alternative alignments, and the selection of a preferred alignment will be guided by a risk versus cost evaluation. Alternatives will be ranked and screened based on a set of key criteria including project affordability and implementation, schedule, constructability, community impacts, land ownership, environmental, permitting, system hydraulics, and operations and maintenance.
