Ongoing drought conditions led the Twin Falls Canal Company to delay the water delivery date. Water will be available on April 25, about a week and a half later than the usual date of April 15. The date was postponed to make sure that there was enough water in the reservoir system to begin the irrigation season. Farmers were asked to adjust their planting schedule. Water shares will be 5/8 rather than the usual ¾. The Upper Snake reservoir system was only at 50% capacity.
