When water users no longer want to use their water, they can transfer the water to new lands or sell it outright (irrigation district patrons generally need the approval of the district’s board).  We purchase this water and permanently leave it in the river.  

If you are interested in transferring your water rights instream, please contact Zach Tillman by phone (541-382-4077, x21) or email.  If you are a Central Oregon Irrigation District or Swalley Irrigation District patron, you can also participate in the Central Oregon Water Bank.
