Work on the Douglas creek canal liner project should be completed to the point that it can be charged with water by this Thursday, May the 23rd.  Therefore, water can begin to become available through that canal after that time.  It would be a big help to me if irrigators on Douglas canal would contact me with your projected dates and amount that you will want to start taking water from Douglas canal.

Currently, we will be operating the canals on flood water.  But with declining upper level snowpack it is difficult to predict how long the high water will remain.
