Irrigation Season

Madera Irrigation District to Begin  Water Deliveries

The Madera Irrigation District  (MID or District) water season will begin on May 4, 2026, depending on location.   At a meeting held on April 21, 2026 the rate was set to $110 per acre foot for Original  District landowners and $220 per acre foot for Subordinate landowners.  These rates may be reviewed and adjusted as conditions change throughout the year. With a current allocation of 100% Class 1 water, MID expects a full water season, hopefully continuing into the beginning of August.
