NAMPA, Idaho (CBS2) — According to a recent news release, the City of Nampa will shut down its irrigation system for the season on Wednesday, Oct. 4. As the irrigation districts near the end of their allotment, each determines when they will shut off the water to customers, which includes the City of Nampa.
The City of Nampa receives water from three irrigation districts: Pioneer Irrigation District, Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District and Boise-Kuna Irrigation District. While Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District and Boise-Kuna Irrigation District are tentatively scheduled to end their season on Oct. 10, the City of Nampa needs water delivery from all three irrigation districts to run its pressurized system.
The city also shared additional reminders:
- Do not use potable (house) water to irrigate lawns because it will increase water and sewer charges on your utility bill. The City of Nampa does not have backup domestic water to fulfill irrigation needs.
- The Nampa Waterworks Division reminds individuals and companies that the city valve should not be turned off when blowing out sprinkler lines. The keyed turnoff is for city emergency use only.
