2014 scheduled irrigations began on the 15th.
Not without some tumble weed problems causing backups and water spilling over
boxes. The Beaver Park Water staff has worked many hours trying to locate the
plugs and eliminate them in the system. Overall the irrigations are going well.
Please note that the ditch riders are responsible for scheduling irrigations.
They can be contacted as follows:
Tom Sanders – Superintendent 371-4313 overall and city
lines
Tommy Lilze – Ditch Rider 371-4311 primarily middle lines
Donny Hampton – Ditch
Rider 371-4310 primarily east
lines
Larry Degenhart – Ditch
Rider 371-4312 primarily west
lines
Haven’t been contacted by the ditch rider for water
scheduling? Make sure the following is not the reason:
- Have you paid your assessments?
- Have you changed your contact numbers?
Please contact the office at 372-3664 if you have questions
concerning your account information.
Spring weather started and stopped and started and stopped
with a mixture of rain and snow coming to the Penrose area. Temperatures have
ranged from a high of 80 to a low of 18 degrees. Moisture received per the
AGMET sensor recorded a half inch of moisture for the month of April. We are
thankful for any moisture and continue to pray for rain. The fields that have
been planted are looking very green, trees have blossomed out and the tractors
working the fields remind us that spring time here in Penrose is a beautiful
site to see.
Reminder to all of those shareholders that paid half of
their assessments, the balance plus a $10 surcharge fee will be due by August 1,
2014. This will be especially important as water delivery will be delayed
to those who have outstanding balances. Invoices will be sent out in May.
