IID receives $22M for storm recovery costs

IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA) - The Imperial Irrigation District (IID) received over $22 million for repairs following storms from 2025.

The money came from state disaster funding to help repair infrastructure through the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

"This is exactly why we pursue every available funding opportunity at the state level," said IID Board Chairwoman Karin Eugenio.

"Our goal is to ensure our customers are not left carrying the full cost of storm damage. By working closely with our partners and securing these funds, we are protecting critical infrastructure and the communities we serve," she added.
