WATER CURTAILMENT ORDER - EFFECT ON FIRE DEFENSES Published: July 6, 2007
On June 22, 2007 the Idaho Department of Water Resources issued curtailment orders to junior water right holders in the Magic Valley.
The communities of Carey, Dietrich, Heyburn, Paul and Wendell where among the 16,000 water right holders included in this order that was
to be effective July 6, 2007. The ISRB was concerned that this curtailment could impact a community's ability to provide water for fire
fighting. In the course of trying to determine the impact of this order, the State of Idaho Department of Water Resources pointed out that
Idaho Code 42-201(3) provides that water may be used at any time, with or without a water right, to extinguish an
existing fire on private or public lands, structures, or equipment, or to prevent an existing fire from spreading to private or public lands,
structures, or equipment endangered by an existing fire. Based on this information the ISRB believes that any community or entity that provides fire defenses in Idaho
will have full access to their water.

NEWS FOR IDAHO FIRE CHIEFS
The Bureau has developed a new tool to provide our users with the ability to find the class of public protection
applicable to properties based on the address of the property. This tool is called the Public Protection Calculator. One of the key elements that makes this tool work is
the boundaries of the cities and fire districts we obtain from the State of Idaho Tax Commission. These are the only boundaries
that we will be using in the new Geographic Information System application. Its important, for a number of reason, that
the Tax Commission is always updated with annexation details.
PUBLIC PROTECTION CALCULATOR
The ISRB PPC Calculator has moved from outside group testing to production and is now available from the public protection page. The water data layer has been updated
filling the hole we had in the Northern Lakes Fire Protection District.
