These bills have been introduced on behalf of the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District. These bills would align the statutory language for the rehabilitation assessment authority with that of some other local special purpose districts, specifically Mosquito Control Districts. This will create a more reliable form of local funding to carry out the vital and ongoing rehabilitation work of the MLIRD. Local funding with local control empowers the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District to work proactively and continuously to improve the water quality in Moses Lake. This continued and ongoing improvement of the water quality in Moses Lake is important to us because Moses Lake's water quality is critical to not only our community's public health and safety but also our county's economic vitality.
