Something to keep in mind throughout the valley.
Due to ongoing dry conditions and low snowpack across the Treasure Valley, the Caldwell Municipal Irrigation District (CMID) continues to experience a challenging irrigation season.
Please keep the following in mind:
• Lower pressure and reduced water delivery will continue.
• The irrigation season may still end earlier than normal.
• No Billing Credits will be given for a shortened season: Please note that season-long fixed rates apply regardless of water availability or season length. In Idaho, assessments pay for access to the system, not a guaranteed amount of water.
To help protect the system and prevent outages, residents are strongly encouraged to follow an odd/even watering schedule:
• Odd-numbered addresses water on odd-numbered days.
• Even-numbered addresses water on even-numbered days.
Using the cycle and soak method, multiple shorter watering sessions, can help reduce runoff and improve irrigation in dry soil. Watering every other day can also support deeper root growth and drought tolerance.
Pump station reminders:
• During business hours, crews prioritize main line repairs and leaks before restarting stations.
• After dark, pump restarts are handled the following morning for crew safety.
Thank you for helping conserve water and support our community during this time.
