To: All owners of land with appurtenant water rights served by the Campbell Canal. Please take notice that the Board of Directors of the Walker River Irrigation District (the “Board”) will consider the final apportionment of benefits and costs associated with the formation of an improvement district for the purpose of acquiring, operating, maintaining and improving the Campbell Canal, at its meeting on May 7, 2026. The relevant Agenda Item is as follows:
Review and consideration of establishing the final apportionment of benefits and costs associated with the proposed Campbell Canal local improvement district based upon a fraction the numerator of which is the number of acres in each parcel with an appurtenant surface water right and the denominator of which is the total number of acres with appurtenant surface water rights within the improvement district. Appurtenant surface water rights include, water rights adjudicated in the final decree entered on April 14, 1936, as amended April 24, 1940, in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, Case in Equity No. C-125, entitled United States of America, Plaintiff vs. Walker River Irrigation District, et al., Defendants, and also previously apportioned benefits from those certain storage water rights allocated to and held by Walker River Irrigation District in the final decree entered on April 14, 1936, as amended April 24, 1940, in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, Case in Equity No. C-125, entitled United States of America, Plaintiff vs. Walker River Irrigation District, et al., Defendants. All expenses associated with the care, operation, maintenance, management, repair, and necessary current improvement or replacement of the Campbell Canal will be based upon that apportionment of benefits. (For possible action).
At its meeting, the Board will hear all interested persons who may appear, hear and receive all evidence offered, and may classify relevant lands in such a way that the assessment when completed shall be just and equitable. Any interested person who fails to appear before the Board shall not be permitted to contest the apportionment, or any assessment thereunder, except upon a special application to the court in the proceeding for confirmation of the apportionment, that demonstrates a reasonable excuse for failing to appear before the Board.
After its review and consideration, the Board may adopt the final apportionment of benefits for the Campbell Canal improvement district at the meeting to occur on May 7, 2026.
