What a productive day at Eagle Creek, paving Eagle Creek Road! Contractors paved one lane from the cattle guard to the lake today. Tomorrow, they’ll pave the second lane. Then they’ll start paving the RV park and finish up the riprap.

Update on Nogal Road. The road is passable; the Roads Crew has made it accessible for residents to get home, but please be careful. Nogal residents will not have water tonight. The flood damaged the water line, and we’ll need to fix it in the morning. It created a large ditch, which poses a safety hazard for the Roads and Utilities crew because of the limited light. Sorry for the inconvenience, but the Roads and Utilities crew will be out first thing in the morning to repair the road and the water line.

Update on Eagle Creek Road construction. All the coverts have been installed on Eagle Creek Road, and the contractors are beginning to lay down the base course, aiming to pave the roads within the next couple of weeks and complete the project by November 2026. These are much-needed improvements to our recreational area in Eagle Creek. Excited to see it open in the 2027 season.

We are excited to share that we have received a grant for a road striping project to repaint roads on the reservation. This is one of the top safety issues and concerns we’ve heard from the community. We plan to start the striping project in February 2027.
