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.

Burn Ban Lifted

The Ione Rural Fire District has lifted the burn ban effective October 24, 2024. Please remember to contact the Morrow County Sheriff’s Office at 541-676-5317 prior to burning. You will need to provide your name, telephone number, and location of the burn.
