Good Morning Burnt River.
I hope everyone is doing well and is ready for some water.
We will begin our irrigation release on Monday the 11th of May.
We are going to start with a 50-60 CFS push and increase from there as needed, as we see ditches opening and taking water.
As we all know, it is a bit of a short water year, starting at only 80 percent full.
So we as a district are going to do our best to manage what we have while still ensuring everyone is getting their water.
So let's all please be good neighbors, be respectful, and be diligent on ditch maintenance.
Please, please communicate with me. Text or call me anytime you are opening or closing a ditch. It really helps conserve water.
Thank you everyone, I look forward to hearing from you and working with y'all this year.
Have a wonderful day,
Shawn.
