Farmers Irrigation District in Hood River County has declared an emergency and is implementing three-and-a-half day on, three-and-a-half day off water rotation procedures in its Upper and Middle districts to address drought conditions.  District Manager Jer Camarata says the rotation schedule is an effort to cut the flow from their Kingsley Reservoir by half to help get through the drought and have water through the end of the harvest.  The lower part of the district gets irrigation water from a diversion off the Hood River.  The district is asking all of its water users to voluntarily stop watering lawns and any non-essential landscapes for the duration of the summer to help farmers.  The list of roads and their assigned days for watering is available on the Farmers Irrigation District website at fidhr.org and will be mailed to all of the district’s users, and anyone with questions can call 541-387-5261.
