City of Nampa, Idaho - Municipal Government

City crews continued the summer's chip seal operation this week, chipping portions of Dooley Ln, Midland Blvd, Greenhurst Rd and Iowa Ave. On Wednesday, they worked in the roundabout at Midland Blvd and Iowa Ave -- we appreciated the community's patience while the intersection was closed.

Beginning Monday, June 15, the Street Division will continue work on Iowa Ave and Midland Blvd.

Reminder that the speed limit in the chip zone is 20mph. Lowered speeds help ensure that everyone can get home safely.

Daily project updates are available at https://www.cityofnampa.us/420/Crack-Sealing-Chip-Sealing. Check out the new interactive map to follow along on our progress!

Starting Friday, June 26, Midland Blvd between Linden Rd and Ustick Rd will be closed for frontage work until August 4. Thank you for planning ahead and following the detour routes.

Local access will still be available.

Every drop counts, Nampa! There are simple steps we can take to encourage a more waterwise lawn.
• Let it grow. Longer grass shades the soil, slowing down evaporation. It doesn't take much - even just an inch can help retain moisture.
• Only water when needed. Our lawns can go without water for longer than we think! If you walk across the lawn and footprints remain, the grass is dehydrated. When you do water, remember that deep and infrequent watering wins.
• Check your aim. Ensure that sprinkler systems are watering the lawn, not sidewalks, roads or gravel.
Small steps add up. Together, we can conserve and protect our shared water resources.
