What is an irrigation assessment and how much is my irrigation allotment?
The majority of lands in the Lake Chelan Reclamation District have a water right with the District. This water right is appurtenant to the land and requires the payment of an annual irrigation assessment. The base irrigation allotment is three acre-feet of water per acre of land. Most irrigation water is delivered by separate or shared meters on the irrigation system. Some irrigation water is delivered through the domestic system on the same meter as your house meter.
