I've considered it . . . but, the cost vs. efficiency makes it highly unlikely. At this point in life, taking out a $60,000+ loan to save maybe $3,000 a year is stupid.

Don't have them, but did seriously consider them this past summer. They're just too much of a cash outlay upfront, even with the fed and state subsidies, It takes too many years to recoup the outlay.

Was told I would have to live in my present home close to 10 years before reaping any real benefits.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

I agree with commissioner Patti Adair - there are other alternatives.

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
