(Imperial Irrigation District to host State of the District)....The event will be the first of its kind.

The State of the District celebration will be held November 19. The free community event will celebrate generations of service and offer a behind-the-scenes look at the people, history and work of the IID. The event will begin at 4:30 pm on the grounds of IID's historic Headquarters in Imperial. There will be a brief State of the District program at 5:30 pm, followed by food, interactive exhibits, historic displays, equipment demonstrations, and activities highlighting the many ways IID serves the Imperial and Coachella Valleys. The event comes during a year marking several milestones in IID history, including 125 years of water in the Imperial Valley, 90 years of public power, 60 years of Dippy Duck, IID's long-time water safety ambassador, and 115 years of the Imperial Irrigation District. The event is free, but because of space limitations, advanced registration will be required. Go to the IID website to register.
