Great news, Shareholders!!!

The Water Commissioner has changed our water status back to Phase I River Call. This means that we will go back to our "Regular Schedule", with less than a normal flow of water.

These changes are made on a day-to-day basis, therefore, we will keep you all informed as the information becomes available to us.

Please forward this information to other shareholders you know who may not receive these email notices.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Division 2 – 7:00 am Monday to 7:00 am Tuesday
Division 3 North (Grand & Elm) – 7:00 am Tuesday to 7:00 am Wednesday

Shareholders:

Expect flows to be less than normal, as we are in Phase 1 of River Call. Watering schedules will remain the same with limited flows. This is NOT Phase 2 of River Call. Phase 2 is when watering days move to one day a week, as defined on the website. We will inform you if/when this happens. Please forward this information to other shareholders who may not receive these email notices.

Thank you for understanding and for your patience.

We want to let you know that South Canon Ditch has been called to River Call.  Lincoln Park Crooked Ditch will remain delivering water on a normal schedule until we are advised to go on River Call.  Should that happen, we will go to our "River Call Schedule" at that time.  We will update you as soon as we know.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
