City of Driggs Water System Notice – June 16, 2026
Due to a scheduled Fall River Rural Electric power outage this evening, the City of Driggs water system will be operating at reduced capacity. To help maintain adequate water supply and system stability, the City is asking all customers connected to the municipal water system to turn off their irrigation systems by 10 PM tonight (6/16/2026).

Our water system experiences its highest demand between midnight and 6 AM, primarily from irrigation use. Reducing irrigation during this window is essential to keeping the system functioning safely during the outage. City Public Works crews will be active throughout the night monitoring both the water and wastewater systems.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping reduce water usage this evening and supporting the reliability of our community’s infrastructure.
