For Immediate Release:

 

Irrigation Season Announced

 

Moscow, Idaho - City of Moscow Public Works Director Les MacDonald has
announced that the 2010 Irrigation Season for the City of Moscow will
begin June 1, 2010.  The start date of the irrigation season is
determined annually by the Public Works Director as outlined in City
Code Title 5, Chapter 17, which takes into account temperature and
precipitation information.

 

Section 17-45 of the Code states, "Outdoor irrigation shall be allowed
only between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. local time unless
modified by a variance pursuant to Chapter 17.  Outdoor irrigation shall
be prohibited at all times not within the declared Outdoor Irrigation
Season."  During the Irrigation Season, the City encourages residents to
refrain from outdoor irrigation until precipitation and soil moisture
decreases to a point that landscaping needs supplemental water. 

 

Additional irrigation information and the water variance application are
located at the City of Moscow website:
http://www.ci.moscow.id.us/pw/WaterConservation/IrrigationSeason.asp.

 

Questions regarding this outdoor irrigation season or the code variance
should be directed to Nicole Baker at 883-7114 or Pat Mink at 883-7034.
