Imperial Irrigation District (IID) in La Quinta

The Imperial Irrigation District campus on Avenue 58 is one of South La Quinta’s working utility landmarks. Behind the low office roofs and landscaped pond are storage yards, service vehicles and electrical infrastructure—a view of the systems that support everyday life in the desert.

Which IID facility is this?

IID identifies 81-600 Avenue 58, La Quinta, CA 92253 as its La Quinta office and Customer Service Center. Its operating headquarters is at 333 East Barioni Boulevard in Imperial. This page focuses on the La Quinta location shown in Mark Miller’s aerial photographs.

The wider campus includes operational areas beyond the public-facing offices. The photographs show the buildings, equipment yard and adjoining electrical facilities; the pond is part of the campus landscape. It should not be confused with a public park or recreational lake.

What does Imperial Irrigation District do?

IID is a public agency with both water and energy operations. For residents in its Coachella Valley service territory, its everyday role is primarily as the electric utility: delivering power, maintaining electrical infrastructure and handling electric-service accounts.

Its water service area is in Imperial Valley. The word “Irrigation” in the name does not mean IID is automatically the drinking-water provider for a La Quinta home. Electricity, domestic water and sewer service should each be checked for the specific property.

Helpful links for residents and homebuyers

• Check whether a home is in IID’s electric service territory. Enter the property address rather than relying on the city name alone.
