EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA) – The Imperial Irrigation District (IID) Board of Directors adopted a resolution to recognize this week as Water Construction Week.
Taking place from September 15 to September 19, the resolution recognizes the water construction crews who work tirelessly to “maintain and upgrade canals, laterals and and structures” to keep the Colorado River water flowing to the Valley’s fields, homes and businesses, IID says.

“IID takes this opportunity to express our utmost appreciation to this dedicated group of employees who play a vital role in District water operations,” said IID Board Chairwoman Gina Dockstader. “They take on one of the IID’s most essential jobs—keeping precious Colorado River water flowing through the Imperial Valley to abundant, fertile fields, which grow food and fiber for the nation and our communities.”
IID says the resolution aligns with National Construction Appreciation Week, also happening this week, where it recognizes construction professionals nationwide.
