The Pioneer Irrigation District, getting water from the Boise River system and supplying water to more than 34,000 irrigated acres, shut off its water in early September, more than a month earlier than normal.
With depleted reservoirs at the end of this growing season, average or above average snowfall will be needed this winter to avoid shortages in 2022.
