Transcript PDF 33kb
This season kids, parents and pet owners should be aware that irrigation canals are not for play. Drowning is the second leading cause of childhood deaths nationally.

To raise awareness about canal safety, this series of public service announcements (PSAs) will air during Idaho's irrigation season. Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter hosts the 30-second spots sponsored by the Idaho Farm Bureau, J. R. Simplot Co., Idaho Power, Idaho Water Users Association, Idaho Potato Commission, the State of Idaho and the Bureau of Reclamation.
