Water Supply
Update 6/18/25: As flows in Tumalo creek are starting to bounce around. TID will be adjusting patrons down to a 70% delivery of water this will start on the 23rd of June, this will take most of the week to complete. We are doing this to make better use of the amount of water we received into Crescent Lake. We broke the 30k mark in the lake barely, this gives TID the ability to stretch this small amount of water as long as possible and hopefully prevent a water rotation this year, that is the goal.
We anticipate that high flows on Tumalo creek will be ending around the fourth of July weekend. And then we will be dependent on the Crescent Lake water.
Water started April 14th for the 2025 irrigation season.
