A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR KLING
This week many Nampa schools celebrated spring break. If social media is any indication, many families are enjoying time vacationing around Idaho and out of state. It is wonderful to see people getting back to life and returning to a semblance of normalcy. I also know of many that stayed home and experienced life as usual, still looking forward to the time they can vacation. 

Whatever you did during the school spring break and this first week of spring, I hope you can find rest and hope as we enjoy this new season!    
-Mayor Debbie Kling

The City of Nampa will begin activating irrigation stations on April 1, and customers can expect full pressure by mid-April after crews have tested lines, flushed the system, and brought ditch pumps on line. Crews will work to ensure the water lines are functioning properly and may need to temporarily shut down a line for repair. Temporary closures while crews work to bring lines to full operation may interrupt service for customers, and patience is appreciated. 

REMINDERS FOR IRRIGATION CUSTOMERS:
Nampa residents are asked to check the programming of their sprinkler control box to ensure they are not unknowingly over-watering. If customers notice a leak, they are encouraged to call the 24-hour hotline at 208-468-5860. Please know that due to the volume of calls, it may be necessary to leave a voice message. Staff will return calls as soon as possible. Customers requiring assistance setting a sprinkler control box are encouraged to contact a local landscaping professional. Residents are also strongly encouraged to install their own shut-off valve to control sprinkler lines and are asked not to operate the city valve, as this is for emergency use only.
