BY THE U.S, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE



Report To The Honorable George Miller,

United States House Of Representatives







Proposed Pricing Of Irrigation Water

From California's Central Valley

New Melones Reservoir


The New Melones Reservoir in California is
the latest addition to the Bureau of Recla-
mation's vast network of dams, reservoirs,
canals, and pumping stations known as the
Central Valley Project. Since New Melones
is part of the CVP, the Bureau adds its irriga-
tion construction, operation, and mainte-
nance costs to other CVP costs. The entire
irrigation costs are then used in calculating
rates for water repayment.

As a result, New Melones irrigation rates
are lower than they would be if its water
users had to repay construction and operat-
ing costs of the reservoir. Costs associated
with New Melones will eventually cause the
rates of other CVP users to increase. Be-
cause of existing long-term contracts, how-
ever, the increased rates cannot be passed
on to other users until their contracts expire
or are amended.
