 PID HISTORY
Paradise
Irrigation District (PID)
is located in the Town of Paradise, a Northern California foothill
community with a population of approximately 26,000. PID
was originally formed in 1916 under the laws of the State Water Code for
the purpose of providing agricultural water to approximately 1,000 ridge
residents. Today PID
delivers water to approximately 9,800 municipal and residential/commercial
customers. The primary source of water supply is surface water
from rainfall stored in two reservoirs with a total capacity of 12,293
acre feet. The water system includes 169 miles of transmission and
distribution pipelines and a 22.8 MGD state of the art treatment plant,
constructed in 1994.
We are an Independent
Special District governed by a 5 member Board of Directors elected by
the voters of the district. As a not for profit agency, we are
operated under the authority conferred by the state water code,
Division 11, Section 20500 to 29978 derived from the 1897 Irrigation
District law of the State of California. The District makes no
profit and is operated for the sole benefit of the lands and people
within its boundaries.
