HOT! Describes the temperatures for the month with the AG Met sensor reading in the upper 80’s and a high of 99. However, we were able to receive some well-deserved moisture this month recording a total of 1.49 inches of rain that graced our dry landscape. The current Drought Monitor shows Fremont County as abnormally dry at this time. Weather forecasts are calling for more rain the final days of the month.
With the
heat, the creek ran low average of 7 c.f.s. with a few days of increased levels
due to rain storms in the area. Second irrigations are slow and steady with
each Ditch rider delivering one head of water each. Occasionally, due to
increases in the creek we have increased the heads of water being distributed,
but it only lasts for a day or two. At this rate of distribution, we may or may
not be able to provide all shareholders with a second irrigation but we are
making every effort to get water to as many shareholders as possible. All the
water for irrigation is coming from the upper canal and being transferred down
the lines for deliveries. Please do not mistake this water for pumping as it
has been allocated to a designated shareholder. No pumping is permitted at this
time.
Please be
advised that all assessments are due and payable by August 1st.
Accounts with outstanding balances will not be eligible to receive irrigation
water and will not be on the schedule for delivery. You will not be notified by
your ditch rider of your un-paid status. This will be your responsibility.
Should water be in your line and your account is not in good standing, the
water will move on to the next available shareholder. Should you pay your
assessments at a later date, your name will be added to the schedule but
depending on where the water is at that time, there is no guarantee when we
will be able to get water to you. Please
remember assessments do not pay for water, it is for the operational costs of
running Beaver Park Water. Your assessments keep the company viable.
Please
continue to pray for rain and keep your umbrella handy.
