Welcome to the City of Ione!

"Growing With Pride"

Ione is located in the southern portion of Morrow County along Highway 74. Ione enjoys a rich history in agriculture, including, wheat and livestock. Community spirit and pride is evident through attractive and well-maintained homes, parks and businesses.

The community supports excellence in education that is demonstrated by Creative Care Preschool and Ione Community School. The community hosts a 1,000-yard shoot; a unique fundraiser, which funds the children’s activities during the annual 4th of July celebration.

The 4th of July celebration is an event that includes a car show, parade, live music, family fun and ends with a beautiful fireworks display. The historic Oregon Trail crosses near Ione at Well Springs. Ione is an attractive place to live and raise a family.

Fire Alarm Testing

The Ione Rural Fire Department (IRFD) siren located at City Hall has been repaired. Columbia Basin Electric Cooperative found that the three phase power supply wasn’t working properly. Then, Shad Hass, Director, Public Works, was able to fix a blown fuse and tighten lose connections. The Sheriff’s Office was then able to successfully test the siren.

Thank you for your patience while the alarm was being tested multiple times this morning.

City Water Line Survey

The Oregon Health Division of Drinking Water Services required all cities to do an inventory of their water service lines for lead and copper. We completed the survey in October 2024. Based on inspection and records no city lines contain lead.

Time to Insulate Your Water Meters

Fall is here and the City of Ione would like to remind its citizens to insulate their water meter boxes. Insulating water meters will reduce the risk of breakage and damage.

Don’t stuff loose insulation into the meter box. This often results in a buildup of ice inside the box. Instead, put the insulation into a garbage bag, tie it off and lay it gently over the meter. This should help protect your water meter until spring arrives.

Johnson Road Closure

Johnson Road closure will begin October 21, 2024. The closure will last for approximately 1 month.
