Klamath Irrigation District

The Klamath Irrigation District is a special government district formed and operating pursuant to Oregon Revised Statute Chapter 545. The District was first described in the Bylaws of the Klamath Water Users Association on 1 April 1905 establishing the authority for landowners to enter into contract with the federal government; the District was officially established by "Order Declaring Result of Election" entered in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for the County of Klamath on 10 December 1917 to take over the 1905 and subsequent contracts with the Federal Government. Mission: The mission of Klamath Irrigation District is to acquire, maintain, assure, and deliver an adequate water supply for beneficial use on qualified land with the Klamath Project. We represent our Patrons before government agencies, the legislature, Congress, and in such forms as appropriate for the perfection and protection of their water rights. We defend the District from actions which would diminish our effectiveness and function. We further promote the conservation of water, soil, and other natural resources.
