September
was a busy month for the ditch riders as they are in the process of completing
third irrigations and on some lines starting fourths. Irrigation season ends November
15th and we are not in priority to store water. The creek is
currently running at 19 cfs and Brush Hollow Reservoir is at 75.67 acre feet.
Irrigations should not reduce the lake level as we are using what is being put
in.
We
received very little in precipitation this month; only .16 of an inch was
recorded on the AG met sensor in Penrose.
Since
we have made several staff changes, the following is a list of staff names and
contact numbers.
Tommy
Lilze – Superintendent 371-4311

Please
note that we have had issues with not having current phone numbers on file. If
you have had recent changes or not sure what numbers are on file, please
contact the office. Without current contact numbers, we are unable to reach you
to schedule water.
We are
anxious for next weekend. Penrose celebrates a great apple
harvest. Enjoy!
