ANNOUNCEMENTS

Due to another landslide this time into the canal about 5 1/2 miles above the first slide on Garvin Mesa, we will probably not be able to get water back into the canal until hopefully Wednesday or Thursday of this week.  The canal has been cleared of the rocks and mud from the slide, but the hillside continues to move.  Until we can get it stabilized, we cannot take the chance of putting water in the canal.  We were lucky that the canal was off when this landslide occurred or we would have probably lost the canal and possibly Highway 133.  We will keep updated.  Again thank you for your patience and understanding.
