Spray Water Notice

Orchard spray water delivery can legally start after February 15th. FID crews are working to prep the system for spray water deliveries, but filling lines takes time and winter weather/freezing is still a risk. Contact the office (541-387-5261) at least 48 hours in advance to schedule spray water delivery to your orchard.

Non-orchard patrons should isolate their private systems (close their valve) from FID's delivery lines to ensure spray water does not enter their system. FID water can not be used for irrigation before April 15th.

Irrigation Season

Irrigation season legally starts on April 15th and ends September 30th. The irrigation season for the Hood River Basin is set by state law and FID can not provide irrigation water outside of that season.

Building Permits

Applications and site plans can be submitted for FID sign-off via email. Contact Megan at megan@fidhr.org or 541-387-5261 for questions or to set up an appointment.
