2023 Irrigation Season Update
As of October 27, 2023 BVID has decided to end the 2023 Irrigation Season on Monday, November 6, 2023 (or possibly sooner if rain falls before then). This will hopefully give everyone enough time to fill their tanks and ponds over the next two weekends. Please take the next week or so to fill your tanks, and in the meantime, let’s hope for more rain to fill the reservoir!
