Irrigation Water Outages
About Irrigation Water Outages: The Nevada Irrigation District operates and maintains over 400 miles of canals. From time to time, water service through these canals are subject to interruption due to planned maintenance and unplanned emergencies. The District makes every effort to inform customers two weeks in advance for planned irrigation water outages. Occasionally, outages occur from emergencies for which there may be little or no advance notice. The latest information on planned and unplanned irrigation water outages are listed below, and will be updated as conditions change.
