Re: Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District’s Responsibilities

Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District’s responsibility is to operate and maintain a pump

station, the flow of water and a main line throughout the entire subdivision.  In addition to

this the District will maintain to the first valve off the main line. 

It is then up to the individual homeowner to install a line which is easily disconnected from

the District’s main three-quarter (¾”) valve with a union or some other type of device which

will easily and quickly disconnect from Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District’s main line in

order for any service/repair required on the main valve. 

If the homeowner connects directly to this line with no easy way of being able to disconnect

it, Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District employees are instructed to cut the homeowner’s line

free from the District’s service. This allows the District to quickly make the repair thus

keeping the down time for the pump to a minimum.  This allows the District to serve the

other taxpayers in the subdivision in a less costly and timelier manner. 

This may require you to either do one of two things; hire a sprinkler irrigation company to

come in to make the proper repairs or you, (the homeowner) must make the repair

yourselves.  

Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.  If you wish to discuss the matter further
