Cleaning the Intake


On Thursday we put the final flush on the irrigation intake from Gore Creek. You have probably noticed how our ponds have been lower than normal. With the flooding and the local beaver activity our 200 foot intake pipe was clogged from years of debris.
The Eagle River Water and Sanitation District has been on-site numerous times over the past few weeks to remove the debris various way. Our last attempt on Thursday was a success and now we have recuperated our normal flow conditions and the ponds are now full for the fish and irrigation.
Keeping water movement is important for pond health and aeration. The ponds are designed to flow through the golf course and eventually return to the Gore.
