The Idaho Irrigation District

496 E 14th Street

Idaho Falls, ID 83404

Office (208) 522-2356 / Shop (208) 357-3978

PATRONS, IN AN EMERGENCY CALL YOUR DITCHRIDER, Not the recorder.

Code-a-phone number is 357-3117 (Available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.)

PLEASE USE THIS NUMBER FOR WATER ORDERS OR WATER PROBLEMS


NO NEW HEADGATES OR PUMPS PUT INTO THE CANAL WITHOUT A PERMIT. PLEASE COME TO THE OFFICE AND FILL OUT A PERMIT FOR PERMISSION.

We need 48 HOURS NOTICE IN ADVANCE before water is to be turned on.

NO ORDER, NO WATER. Headgates will be locked until we receive orders on the code-a-phone at the shop. Call the code-a-phone to order your water, not the ditch-rider, it needs recorded.

*Delinquent patrons are not eligible to receive water. Call the office if you are delinquent to get the right amount of penalty and interest you owe.

KEEP YOUR DITCHES CLEAN. We will cut down on the amount of water delivered to UNKEPT DITCHES. DO NOT “check”, the canals.

On multiple-use head gates and ditches, schedule out a Workable Schedule for everyone and please use it.

All pumps and headgates in the District have a number on them; please use the number and the canal name when ordering water along with your name and phone number. The Irrigation District mows the canal banks where there’s a road and we would appreciate it if you would not put your sprinkler pipes and equipment on the canal banks. Please call the office before doing any landscaping, digging or any kind of encroachment on the Canal Banks. We need a 20 foot easement on all canal banks. Bridges must have an approval by the Board of Directors. Any parcels broken into subdivision only have the original point of diversion for their water. The District will be doing water testing for GAP Certification. This is testing for e-coli & salmonella, which will be tested here at the office on the Idaho Canal 3 times per year on the 1st of June, July, & August. The results will be available to the water users.
