Municipal Service Area Boundaries

This data represents the general service area of the place of use for organizations with water rights who qualify as municipalities or municipal providers under I.C. Title 42 or the 1996 Municipal Water Rights Act and who have a municipal water right on file at IDWR. The service area is for illustrative purposes. This data does not necessarily represent the boundary of city limits. Drainage Districts and Tribal boundaries are not represented in this data. This dataset is derived from the following queries of IDWR water right and recommendation databases: Status = Active, LPOU = Yes, And (WaterUse = Municipal or WaterUse = Municipal From Storage). A Large POU (LPOU) is a water right place of use for which the delivery of water is described with a digital boundary as defined by I.C. Section 42-202B(2) and authorized pursuant to I.C. Section 42-1411(2)(h). If a specific owner has multiple rights represented by different PlaceOfUseIDs, the PlaceofUseID representing the largest area is used. If there is significant divergence in location between different PlaceofUseIDs, the shapes are merged and PlaceofUseID of -999 is assigned.
