The month began with temperatures in the 90’s and high 80’s. The Middle of the month temperatures began to drop into the high 70’s and the end of the month the 60’s. This is certainly a change as well as we received almost an inch of rain. However, if forecasts are correct, we stand a chance to receive 1.50 inches of rain starting 9/30/26.
In efforts to avoid flooding in the lower canal, it was
decided to shut off the lake at this time as the rain is anticipated to cause
flooding according to the National Weather Service that issued a weather alert for
Eastern Fremont County. Our canal typically receives flood water and debris
from Bear Creek that empties directly into our lower canal. Transferring water
down from the upper ditch will allow current shareholders to continue their
scheduled water. The west side deliveries will have a lapse in scheduled water
for a day or two. After the flood water recedes, we can resume deliveries from
the lake, however not for long as we are not able to go below 68 on the staff
gage at Brush Hollow and we are almost there now.

October’s month doesn’t indicate any severe weather at
this time. However, it is fall and we are in Colorado so you should always
prepare for winter at any time. At least carry a coat and snow boots just in
case the weather decides to provide us with the white stuff.
