It will be necessary to check daily whether on River Call schedule or routine schedule as it can fluctuate depending on rain in the mountains.
We need patience and understanding as conditions are based on mother nature and the Water Commissioner.
It's extremely important now that laterals are not opened until reviewing daily status.
Difficult times can either build a community or tear it down, it's based on the individuals reaction.
Let's continue to pray for rain.
