What is the role of the Imperial Irrigation District (IID)?
The IID is a community-owned utility and a California irrigation district, not a county water district, such as the Coachella Valley Water District. It is entrusted to manage the water that flows through the valley, according to the water rights created by agricultural landowners. However, the majority of IID’s revenue (86%) comes from the sale of electric power to customers in the Imperial Valley.
