Pressurized Urban Irrigation Systems
In 1993 several new laws were enacted that allow the Irrigation District to enter
into a contract with a developer to construct a pressure urban irrigation system in
new subdivisions. The system then becomes the property of the Irrigation District,
and the Irrigation District will operate and maintain the system and all the water
lines to the delivery valve in the individual lots. (The District does not operate and
maintain private sprinkler systems in lawns and gardens). Nampa, Meridian and
Boise have ordinances that require these systems in new subdivisions. When you
purchase a new home be certain to ask about the availability of
irrigation water.
