TCID is a political subdivision of the State of Nevada organized, and chartered in 1918 for the purpose of representing the water right holders within the boundaries of the Newlands Project in connection with the operations of the Project. The District was formed, and is paid for, by landowners within the boundaries of the Newlands Project who own water rights appurtenant to their land, which water rights the federal government is obligated, both contractually and statutorily, to serve. As a result, TCID’s first and fundamental obligation is to the farmers who are its constituents-promoting their rights and defending their interests with respect to the operations of the Newlands Project.

“Our first and fundamental obligation is to the farmers who are our constituents — promoting their rights and defending their interests with respect to the operations of the Newlands Project.”

In 1926 TCID entered into a contract with the United States, under which the District agreed to operate and manage the Newlands Project on behalf of the federal government in operating and managing the Project.

Thus, TCID acts in a dual capacity with respect to the Newlands Project—as the duly established and elected representative of the water right owners within the Project and as an agent of the federal government in operation and management of the project. In the ordinary course of day-to-day operations, this dual role creates no conflict for TCID. From time to time, however a conflict arises. When a canal breaks or a flood occurs, TCID may find itself on the side of the federal government-defending a lawsuit filed by a landowner alleging that TCID and the United States have not properly operated or managed the Project.
