The official water shut-off date is October 12th but the Kennewick Irrigation District has a few reminders for customers as the season comes to a close.

The South Columbia Basin Irrigation District (Franklin and part of Walla Walla County) will start their flows March 25th.

KID meeting Tuesday was originally slated to have a vote on using eminent domain to take family farmland.

Despite a lot of snow in the mountains, especially late, and a lot here, we just didn't get the snowpack needed.

Regardless of Snowmageddon in February, it's the snowpack in Cascades and elsewhere, and reservoir levels that determine what water will look like irrigation wise this year, and every year. Kennewick Irrigation District, and others, are now saying the water levels are dropping when it comes to percentage of what is needed to deliver 'normal' or healthy levels...

How can KID be warning of a drought?

It has been so nice outside that I have been thinking about when we can start watering the lawn again and now we know! The canals are filling up with water now,

Now is a good time to get that Fall fertilizer on so you can water it in at least once before your irrigation is turned off. KID Shuts down this Friday the13th! CID on Sunday the 15th. Pasco City Irrig and Horn Rapids, 16th. BMID (Badger Mtn), you've got a week from this Friday, the 20th...

KID says that they have repaired the leak found on the main canal near Badger Road and Interstate 82 and water service should be returned in 24 to 36 hours. The cement section has been re[aired but it will take more then a day for the water to reach all customers...
