Water Users
If you wish to have a piece of property included into Pioneer's district for irrigation, you must petition the Board of Directors for annexation.

GENERAL POLICIES
Pioneer has prepared a guide to help define things like encroachments, easements and other irrigation right-of-way related information.
Ditches below Pioneer's delivery point are private, and it is the responsibility of the users of private ditches to properly maintain them.
Please download the letter below to learn more about private facilities, what they are, why they exist and who is responsible for maintaining them.
Pioneer Irrigation District does not maintain the pressurized irrigation within subdivisions. Many of those systems are maintained by either the City of Caldwell or the City of Nampa.
That means that while Pioneer might actually provide the water to the pump station that pressurizes the water, the City who has annexed the subdivision handles everything from the pump station into the subdivision. This includes maintenance of the system, billing, watering schedules, etc.
When you have a problem, such as no water or too much water in your pressurized system, please check the link at the bottom of this section to determine who handles your system. You will then need to call that entity to get help with the issue.
If your subdivision isn't on the list, you are welcome to call Pioneer and we will be happy to help figure out who it is that you need to contact.
WATER ROTATION
More information below
Please note that Pioneer does not typically set water rotation schedules for water users in residential areas, whether on canals/laterals or in subdivisions. This is up to the water users themselves or organize. If you have questions on water rotation, we advise you to talk to your neighbors and/or homeowner's association first. Your ditchrider may know what the rotation schedule has typically been, but he does not generally set that schedule. If you have questions on this, please call the office.
