Nampa plans to shut off its irrigation on Sept. 7 on the same day that Pioneer Irrigation District will end operations. The Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District and the Boise-Kuna Irrigation District are scheduled to end their irrigation seasons Sept. 15.
The end to the irrigation season is due to the lack of snow last winter, severe drought this summer and below normal reservoirs. Residents have been asked to conserve irrigation water to give farmers more time to irrigate.
Residents are not to use potable water for irrigation because the city does not have enough potable water for drinking and irrigation.
