April 29, 2021 (Moscow, Idaho) - Pursuant to City Code Title 5, Chapter 17-5, regarding the Outdoor Irrigation Season, Tyler Palmer, Deputy City Supervisor—Public Works and Services, has consulted with staff, researched temperature and precipitation information and determined that the 2021 Irrigation Season for the City of Moscow shall start May 3. During the declared Outdoor Irrigation Season, the City encourages residents to refrain from outdoor irrigation until precipitation and soil moisture decreases to the point that landscaping needs supplemental water.

Outdoor irrigation shall be prohibited at all times, not within the declared Outdoor Irrigation Season unless permitted by Variance” issued by the Deputy City Supervisor—Public Works and Services.
