The South San Joaquin Irrigation District (SSJID) has been serving South San Joaquin County since 1909, providing reliable and affordable irrigation water for agricultural use in Escalon, Manteca, and Ripon. Over the years, SSJID has played a significant role in water management and infrastructure development, including the construction of dams and reservoirs such as Woodward Reservoir and Melones Reservoir. With a commitment to innovation and a deep respect for its history, SSJID continues to lead in the field of irrigation and water distribution. SSJID's partnership with Oakdale Irrigation District has resulted in notable projects like the Tri-Dam Project, which increased water storage capacity and added hydropower production. The district has also been involved in fishery research and monitoring programs, focusing on the response of juvenile Chinook salmon to pulse flows and studying the impact of non-native predators on salmon survival. With a dedication to transparency and excellence, SSJID was awarded the 2021 District Transparency Certificate of Excellence by the Special District Leadership Foundation.Generated from the website
