The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $4,084,852 grant to the Enterprize Canal Company, Ltd. under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507). Through this Project Grant, the Enterprize Canal Company will convert 3,613 linear feet of two 63-inch pipes along a historical canal alignment and install solar-powered automated headgates and measurement devices. This project is expected to result in annual water savings of 7,721 acre-feet by reducing seepage losses from the area's highly porous soil. The conserved water will allow the company to reduce surface water diversions from the Snake River, increasing the natural flow available to downstream water users. As a participating member in the water district's water rental pool, the conserved water will be made available for redistribution to address shortages for other rental pool participants during periods of drought and maintain minimum stream flows throughout the Columbia River Basin and the Snake River during migration season for federally-listed salmon and steelhead.

The project is expected to result in annual water savings of 7,721 acre-feet by reducing seepage losses from the area S highly porous soil. Conserved water will allow the company to reduce surface water diversions from the snake river, which will increase the amount of natural flow water available to downstream water users. As a participating member in the water districts water rental pool, water conserved by the company will be made available for redistribution to other rental pool water needs, including addressing shortages for other renal pool participants during periods of drought and flow augmentation to maintain minimum stream flows throughout the columbia river basin and the snake river during migration season for federally-listed salmon and steelhead.
