Douglas Creek Canal Update
It is now looking as if all irrigators on Douglas Creek canal will either be out of contract or voluntarily turned off for irrigation water by the end of the day this Wednesday, Sept. 26th. Therefore, I am currently planning to shut down Douglas Creek canal, for the season, on Thursday the 27th to begin dewatering and drying for planned construction work. If this time frame conflicts with any water user’s on Douglas canal, please contact me as soon as possible.
Nevada Creek Work Project
Trout Unlimited has scheduled repair work on Nevada creek downstream of Nevada Creek Reservoir. This work is planned for five days beginning October the 8th. In support of this work, we will need to limit the discharge from the reservoir to a flow rate of 6 to 10 cfs during this time frame. While this rate of flow is not highly unusual for this time of year, there is a possibility of conflict with still active decreed water rights. If any downstream water user’s have concerns, please contact me to discuss.
Thanks
