Apologies for the late posting, but most affected are already updated.
The canals will be charged and deliveries will become available at the first of this coming week. Douglas Creek canal is planned to start on Monday, the 9th, followed by North Helmville canal probably on Tuesday the 10th, or possibly the next day. I have been applying some much needed herbicide to the upper portion of North canal, and need also now to apply canal seal to sections of both canals.
With the recent drop in creek flows, reservoir storage rate also dropped, but flows have come back up over the last couple of days. Contract allotments will initially start at 90% of total contract. At current storage, this provides for a minimal requirement of a storage buffer for loss in delivery. If creek flows remain somewhat stable at now current rates for the next couple of weeks, it is likely that this allotment will raise to 95 or 100% of total contract. I will update everyone as this occurs.
Please contact me about your planned irrigation needs. Thank you…
