PRESS RELEASE:
KENNEWICK, WA - Kennewick Irrigation District (KID) Director Raman Venkata has made the difficult decision to resign from the KID Board of Directors. Director Venkata served on the KID Board for three years beginning in 2018. He is moving out of Washington State to be near family and will no longer be able to serve on the Board.
Qualifications of irrigation district electors and directors in Washington State are found in RCW 87.03.045. Kennewick Irrigation District Directors must be eighteen years old, a citizen of the United States and a resident of Washington. They must be electors of the District and hold title or evidence of title to land in the District. The Benton County Board of Commissioners will be asked to appoint an interim Director to fill the vacancy left by his departure.
At an upcoming KID Board meeting, the Board will approve an application process and tentative schedule for appointment. The schedule will include dates for acceptance of applications, review of applications from persons confirmed eligible to serve, interviews, and authorization of a recommendation to the Benton County Commissioners.
The appointee to this position will serve the remaining year of the Position 2 term, through
the end of 2021, and may choose to stand for election for the next three-year term.
The next three-year term for Position 2 will be on the ballot at the annual irrigation district election on December 14, 2021. The person elected to the seat at that time will take office on the first Tuesday in January 2022.
Upon approval by the Board, an application for consideration for appointment will be made
available on or may be requested by calling KID Customer Service.
If you have any questions, please call the KID Office at 509-586-9111.

2020 Irrigation Season officially ends October 12th!
In case you missed it...
| ‼️Please do NOT blow out your sprinklers until about a week AFTER the above date. If you do it before, water may flow right back into your pipes which could cause damage over the winter.‼️
| After water is officially off, you may still see water in our canals. This is normal! We use that left over water for testing purposes.
| Don't forget! Your second half payment (if you paid in full, please disregard) is due October 31st. Pro Tip – Paying on time will ensure that your entire payment is applied to your assessment. When a payment is late the late fee and interest is paid first, then the remaining payment is applied to the assessment, leaving a small balance which will incur additional interest.
| ➡️ Our office hours are changing soon! Beginning November 2nd, we move back to our "water-off" schedule which is Monday-Thursday | 8am-5:30pm, closed Fridays.
| Our office is still closed to the public due to COVID-19.

WOW thats an early shut off date.
A lack of fun activities for kids this summer leading into fall has been frustrating for a lot of families (especially as a dad myself) so when I reached out to our community partners for Halloween 👻 ideas, I was excited to find out the Kennewick Parks and Recreation Department was in the beginning stages of a drive-through trunk or treat!
With that said, Kennewick Irrigation District is happy to announce it's partnership with Flick or Treat at Columbia Park! Come down and get a candy bag, enter the costume contest and watch a movie all in one safety first evening. Hope to see you there!
