Need sandbags? Here’s a list of sites in Ada County where you can get them.

Ada County is making a limited number of sandbags (and sand) available to residents. There are numerous sites where they can be picked up around the county.

The City of Boise is not providing sandbags at this time.

“We are directing people to the county if they want/need sandbags,” Boise spokesman Mike Journee said.

He said the best thing residents can do prevent flooding is to make sure storm drains are clear.

Boise officials don’t expect any large-scale flooding. Sandbags are not the ideal for nuisance flooding because they do let water through and are difficult to clean up, city officials say.

What you need to know

▪  Limit of 10 bags per household, for property protection from nuisance flooding.

▪  Sandbags should only be used to keep water out of homes, garages and crawl spaces, not to divert water to a neighbor’s property.

▪  You will need to bring your own shovel and fill your own bags.

▪  Cleanup and disposal of sandbags is your responsibility.
