WATER STATUS:

Our Ditch Rider from Nampa Meridian indicated that they are experiencing issues related to a seepage leak in the Ridenba Canal. They are allowing the canal to fill slowly so they can determine whether the situation requires further attention before installing the check boards needed to achieve the proper head of water.

 

Once this is complete, the Watermasters will walk the line to ensure there are no issues on our end.

 

Please check back for notifications regarding when water will be available for use.

​

Update: I (Justin) talked with Chris- NM Ditchrider last Monday about the water level in the Ridenbaugh and check boards so we can get our system online.  He informed me that they still have leaky bank East of Roosevelt and wanted to raise the water level slow to see if it had sealed up over the winter. Beth and I went over last night and water level was still down and no check boards.  Called his number this morning and got a different Ditchrider and he said Chris will have his phone later today.  This is all I know as of 8am Friday.  I will send updates as I get them.
