Canal Shut down Schedule 2024

Sunnyside Valley Irrigation District (SVID) will be shutting down the Sunnyside Canal Starting October 18, and concluding on October 20, 2024. Some laterals and deliveries may have water for a few days beyond that date as the canal is draining and de-watering. Lateral’s 54.01 & 54.12 will be shut off on October 14th, 2024. This early shut down will allow for work to commence on this year’s ELIPS piping project. If you have questions as to whether you are effected by the early shut down, please contact SVID at 837-6980.

Sunnyside Valley Irrigation District will be continuing our aquatic weed treatment program.     

Treatments made with Acrolein (Magnicide H), are labeled as being toxic to fish.  If you use your irrigation water for fish rearing, you are advised to discontinue using the irrigation water, beginning on the day of treatment and for at least two days thereafter.    

We will also be treating with Cascade and/or Teton (Endothall). If you do not wish to use treated water for any reason, you are advised to discontinue using the irrigation water, beginning on the day of treatment and for at least two days thereafter.   

Treatments made with copper are labeled as being toxic to fish.  If you use your irrigation water for fish rearing, you are advised to discontinue using the irrigation water, beginning on the day of treatment and for at least two days thereafter.
