For illustrative pur- poses, you selected three irrigation districts--Arvin-Edison (in the Friant Kern Service Area) and Panoche and San Luis (both in the Delta-Mendota and San Luis Service Areas)--and requested that we provide you with information on --the districts' current contractual obligations regarding - repayment of capital costs and O&M expenses (see page 4), --the districts' ability to pay for project water (see page 4), --the districts' actual repayments and whether they are at least equal to current O&M expenses (see page 5), --the additional costs borne by the federal government when irrigation costs applicable to these districts remain unpaid or are deferred (see page 6), and --the Bureau's policy on the recovery of unpaid or deferred irrigation costs (see page 8). In addition, you asked us to explore several legal questions relating to the above information. These are being pursued by our Office of the General Counsel and will be reported to you in a separate letter. (085680)
