KID Customers: The Local Improvement Districts

WHAT IS AN LID?

Local Improvement Districts are areas (such as sub-divisions) that receive their water through localized pumping sources and are operated for the benefit of their residents by the Kennewick Irrigation Districts.

The Kennewick Irrigation District only delivers water to the highest point in each 40 acre section of the district that qualifies to receive water. The last distance, from the "weir box" to each final destination, is the responsibility of each ratepayer. Some let the water go, some run their own lines, some neighbors or neighborhoods install their own private water distribution systems, and some petition—and ultimately elect—to form a Local Improvement District.

Local Improvement Districts have several advantages over handling things individually or informally with neighbors. Among them are that the LID can apply for KID financing to pay for construction of the system and that the KID handles the maintenance, repairs, operation and bookkeeping for the Local Improvement District. Also, most LIDs are built as pressurized systems, which means that pumps are not needed on each property to use the water.
