Paul Arrington is the executive director of the Idaho Water Users Association and came in to speak on the recent revisions to use and penalties surrounding domestic well users in the state. Domestic well users are, in general, restricted to using water both in their homes but also for irrigation of one half of an acre of their land. Up until this point, the fines associated with irrigating too much have been minimal, but with the increased demand on our limited water resource, fines and enforcement have stepped up significantly. If you or someone you know is a domestic well user, this is a VERY important conversation to hear. Enjoy!

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials. 

The Ranch Podcast is shot just north of Eagle, Idaho.
