April 2026 Update

 April 2026 was a very interesting month. Drought conditions continued throughout the month with red flag warnings daily. This resulted in temperatures in the 80’s. However, we finally had a change on the 29th of the month with some well needed rain. As of the 29th accumulations are .35 of an inch according to the AG Met sensor in Penrose. It is expected to continue to rain today the 30th and possibly turn to snow tonight.

Ditch riders are continuing to schedule and deliver irrigation water. Reminder if your account is not in good standing, you will not be scheduled to receive irrigation water. We do not know what the weather will bring us in the future. It is suggested when you are offered water, take it.
