Pressurized Irrigation

Salem City is anticipating the Pressurized Irrigation system be available for use around May 8^th.    The High Line Canal water is the source of our PI water and have heard they are going to start filling the canal around the first part of May.    We are hoping to have our PI ponds filled and the system energized shortly after.      As we get closer to the system being available, we will send a mass email out to the residents.       

In the interim, we have a program in place to assist residents with PI system water usage. We highly recommend residents sign up for the “PI Customer Usage Portal” if they haven't already. This portal provides valuable insights into daily/hourly water usage and allows setting up alerts. 

Here is a link to it.     http://www.salemcity.org/utility-usage-portal.htm

Indoor Water (Culinary) vs. Outdoor Water (Secondary/PI Water)

As we gear up for the upcoming pressurized irrigation water season, it's crucial to understand the distinction between culinary (indoor) water and secondary (PI) water.

Culinary water, also known as drinking water, is the treated water that flows into your home and is perfectly safe for consumption.

On the other hand, secondary water, also referred to as pressurized irrigation water, remains untreated and is intended solely for outdoor use, particularly for watering lawns and landscapes. It's important to note that drinking or playing in secondary water can make you sick.
