CITY OF NAMPA CUSTOMERS EXPECTED TO RECEIVE IRRIGATION WATER BY MID-APRIL

The City of Nampa will begin activating irrigation stations on April 1, and customers can expect full pressure by mid-April after crews have tested lines, flushed the system, and brought ditch pumps online. Crews will work to ensure the water lines are functioning properly and may need to temporarily shut down a line for repair. Temporary closures while crews work to bring lines to full operation may interrupt service for customers, and patience is appreciated.

REMINDERS FOR IRRIGATION CUSTOMERS: Nampa residents are asked to check the programming of their sprinkler control box to ensure they are not unknowingly over-watering. If customers notice a leak, they are encouraged to call the 24-hour hotline at 208-468-5860. Please know that due to the volume of calls, it may be necessary to leave a voice message. Staff will return calls as soon as possible. Customers requiring assistance setting a sprinkler control box are encouraged to contact a local landscaping professional. Residents are also strongly encouraged to install their own shut off valve to control sprinkler lines and are asked not to operate the city valve, as this is for emergency use only. 


Irrigation Districts


The majority of Nampa’s irrigation water comes in the canal system from Lucky Peak. The Pioneer Irrigation District and the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District manage most of the canals and ditches in Nampa. In some cases these irrigation districts are solely responsible for the infrastructure leading to a customer’s property.

City of Nampa Pressurized Irrigation


In many subdivisions the City of Nampa Waterworks Division is responsible for the pressurized irrigation pump station, water main line, and curb stop valves.

The service line, which is between the curb stop and the sprinkler head, belongs to the property owner. The City will not repair a customer’s service line.
