K.I.D. Mandatory Watering Schedules
Posted on Jun 3rd, 2015
The Kennewick Irrigation District Board of Directors unanimously voted to begin implementing a mandatory watering schedule for K.I.D. customers. The new schedule was designed using analytical data aimed at leveling out water usage by customers and therefore, putting less of a strain on the
system. Please know that this new schedule is being imposed by the Kennewick Irrigation District (KID) and not Applewood Estates HOA.
Applewood home owners will be notified that beginning May 31st, they must water according to a District designated schedule. The schedule is based upon the last digit in their address. The schedule will allow all customers equitable usage. Each customer will have the continued ability to water 2 days per week for 30 minutes per zone with the change being they must water during their assigned A.M. or P.M. block. The A.M. block is from 12 midnight until 12 noon and the P.M. block is from 12 noon until 12 midnight.
The resolution to enforce watering schedules is the first enforcement stance taken by the district in its history.
