There was a partial breach of Douglas canal beginning late Saturday.\u00a0 The breach is located at the upper section of the canal approximately 2 miles downstream of the main diversion.\u00a0 Evidently it was an earlier repaired gopher patch that gave way and then began expanding.\u00a0 I attempted manual repairs to the breach today, but my attempts failed while the breach continued to expand.\u00a0 I finally decided it necessary to shut the canal off until equipment could be brought in.<\/p>\n
An excavator will be on site late tomorrow morning (Monday the 16th).\u00a0 Repairs should be completed by the end of the day and deliveries resumed through the canal.<\/p>\n
Please note that vegetation in the upper section of Douglas canal has continued to grow, resulting in decreased capacity for water flows.\u00a0 We may begin to experience limitations to deliveries if demand continues to increase.<\/p>\n
Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
