Spotted a fawn and not sure what to do? Please, take a beat! Most fawns are just waiting for mom nearby, but if something feels off, the best first step is a call to the pros. Our trained team will help you decide what’s needed (and what’s not), so every fawn gets the right kind of care. Fawn Line: (530) 678-FAWN | (530) 678-3296

Residents who purchased grapevines or other plants at Costco between April 21 and May 26, 2026, should:
For ALL plants: Contact the El Dorado County Agriculture Department at (530) 621-5520 or email eldcag@edcgov.us immediately to schedule pick up of grapevines and/or inspection of other plants and receive guidance on how to prevent further spread and infestation of the glassy-winged sharpshooter.

For other plants: use the contact information above to schedule Agriculture Department inspection.
Do not attempt to return, transport or relocate plants.
Do not place plants in the trash or compost bin.

El Dorado Irrigation District News
EID Maintains Strong Financial Position in 2025 Annual Report
The District’s fiscal year 2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) includes the results of an independent audit showing that EID ended 2025 in a stronger financial position than the previous year, primarily due to continued investment in capital assets, including infrastructure and facilities that support reliable water, wastewater, recycled water, hydroelectric, and recreation services.
The District’s capital assets, after depreciation, increased compared to the prior year, reflecting ongoing investment in system improvements and long-term infrastructure needs.
The report also noted that Facility Capacity Charges, fees collected from new development to offset their impact on the District’s infrastructure, exceeded budgeted expectations and increased compared to the prior year. This was largely due to increased development activity within the District’s service area.
Fire Restrictions are in Effect Forest Wide
No campfires except in existing stoves, charcoal grills, or fire rings provided in the Recreation Sites listed in Exhibit A in the Forest Order and actively serviced by a camp host.
No charcoal fires
No fireworks or explosives
Camp stoves, lanterns and propane fire rings are allowed with a valid campfire permit
