2026 Water Supply and Water Conservation

FID is facing low water supplies this season due to a historically low snowpack (you can learn more here). Please implement water conservation and active water management practices as you operate your irrigation system this season.

Water supply reductions are starting for the Upper Section on June 12th. Learn about current irrigation status and water restrictions here. Water supply reductions or watering restrictions are possible later in the season for patrons in the other sections (learn more about delivery sections here).

Irrigation Delivery

FID's distribution system is charged. If you do not have water, please check your service valve, any valves within your shared private system, and your filter. If you still don't have water, please call the office at 541-387-5261 between 7:30am-12:00pm and 1:00pm-4:00pm, or leave a voicemail on the office line, to notify FID of your assistance needs. Thank you!

Building Permits

Applications and site plans can be submitted for FID sign-off via email. Contact Megan at megan@fidhr.org or 541-387-5261 for questions or to set up an appointment.

Irrigation Season

Irrigation season legally starts on April 15th and ends September 30th. The irrigation season for the Hood River Basin is set by state law and FID can not provide irrigation water outside of that season.
