OMID Water Supply Update

September 28, 2026

OMID will begin receiving irrigation water 9/28/2026 – 10/15/2026.

The season will end effectively 10/15/2026.

We will begin pumping water a few days early.  The siphons and the reservoir are still full, we expect the canals to fill faster than normal but will still take a few days to fill the 43 miles of canals.

The non-consumptive notices will come off the Power Canal headgates and lawn pumps today.

We appreciate all the patience, understanding, and support that our water users and irrigation community partners have shown. Thank you for helping us be more successful than initially anticipated during this incredibly challenging year.
