Northwest Pipe was recently selected to supply steel water pipe for an infrastructure modernization project for the Central Oregon Irrigation District. The Smith Rock-King Way Infrastructure Modernization project will convert 7.9 miles of open-ditch irrigation canals into an underground, closed-piped system. The pressurized system will reduce water loss from seepage by an estimated 29.4 cubic feet per second, or 9,392 acre-feet annually. Water saved from the project will pass to the North Unit Irrigation District for agricultural use during the irrigation season. In turn, the North Unit Irrigation District will release an equal volume of water into the Deschutes River from Wickiup Reservoir for fish and aquatic species habitat improvement. Northwest Pipe will manufacture approximately 15,176 feet of both 102- and 108-inch diameter polyurethane lined and coated engineered steel pipe to transport irrigation water in Deschutes County, Oregon. The company will manufacture over 3,215 tons of pipe for this project.
