Geography
The service area for the Irrigation District is bounded roughly to the North by Lake Lenore, to the South by the Saddle Mountains, to the East by Moses Lake, and to the West by the Columbia River. The other two Irrigation Districts, the East-Columbia Basin Irrigation District (ECBID) and the South-Columbia Basin Irrigation District (SCBID) cover the remainder of the Columbia Basin Project.
Cities within the District Boundaries include Soap Lake, Ephrata, Quincy, George, Royal City, and portions of Moses Lake, Washington. Service areas include most of Grant County and a small portion of Adams County.
