Information for Developers

With the increase in development and building in the Canyon County area in particular, Pioneer will be using this page to make information regarding development criteria and irrigation available to developers. Please click on a topic below to see information related to that topic.

Standards and Specifications for Development - Updated 4/13/2010
Petition for Annexation - to gain water rights in the District
Stormwater Policy - update - read this form information on Pioneer's policy on accepting stormwater discharge into drains. Pioneer does not accept and will not approve stormwater drainage into any Pioneer facility.
Right-Of-Way Handout - defines things like encroachment, easements, etc.

Standards and Specs
Currently, Pioneer has a set of Standards and Specifications that govern development and building in and around irrigation facilities and equipment. These specs must be taken into consideration when creating development plans and blueprints. The Standards and Specs are available for download below. They are a large pdf file and a high speed connection is recommended. All documents listed below are considered the full specifications and must be considered together as a unit if there is more than one document listed.

Please note that the specs have been updated as of 4/15/2010. They now include a Land Use Change Form. Anyone submitting plans affecting District facilities must fill out the Land Use Change Form and this must accompany any plans and drawings submitted. Submittals that do not include the Land Use Change Form will not be accepted. The form is part of the Standards and Specs document below, and a link is also included for just the form itself in case that is the only thing you need.

Petition for Annexation

If you wish to be allowed use of District water, you must petition the Board for inclusion, as well as exclude from the District you currently belong to. Steps for annexation are:

• You send a letter requesting inclusion to the Board of Directors at PO Box 426, Caldwell, Idaho 83606. The letter must include your request, a COMPLETE LEGAL DESCRIPTION of the property involved, proof of exclusion from your current district and a $250.00 processing fee.
• Pioneer must advertise the petition publicly and will do so upon receiving your request.
• The Board of Directors will review your request at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting.
• If approved and Order for Annexation will be drawn up. That Order does not become effective for 90 days.
• If no one opposed the annexation, after 90 days, the Order will be recorded and you will be informed.
• You will be assessed as apporopriate from that point on.
