Due to the significant rain received in July, many
shareholders waited for the fields to dry out before cutting. However the first
part of the month brought us another 1.3 inches of rain, needless to say many
did not want irrigation water. The creek has been running at over 100 cfs
steady all month long, spilling at the diversion. Brush Hollow is at 90 feet
which is high for this time of the year. The small break of dry skies allowed
many to cut and bale their fields and irrigations will continue to complete the
thirds for the season. The temperatures have been lower than most summer months
with low 90’s for the highs and 49.4 for the lows.
Charlie Avila the new ditch rider for the East Lines has
learned most of the deliveries and has recently been trained on the mowing
machine to clear the upper ditch screen areas.
Other good news, Tom has been able to come to work a couple hours a day
and provide assistance over the phone when it is needed. We realize that it
will take some time for him to work up to a regular schedule but we are so thankful
for his continued healing process. Additionally, Tom has recently begun directly
taking calls on his phone. We can’t thank Larry Degenhart enough for his compassion
and kindness for coming out of retirement to assist Beaver Park Water in our
time of need during Tom’s absence. We have a great team working at Beaver Park
Water, Inc. their continued dedication to work these past two months at seven
days a week without a day off. They take their responsibilities very serious
and will do what it takes to provide the shareholders irrigation water.
Reminder to all shareholders that owe the 2nd
half of their 2017 assessments! Assessments were due August 1st. All
balances beyond August 31st will be charged interest on the total
balance due. Past due statements will be sent out the first week of September.
All accounts with outstanding balances will not receive irrigations until
accounts are in good standing. The ditch riders will NOT contact you to
schedule water or remind you of your unpaid status.
