We got a message from the city this week. They were ordering an emergency shut down of the irrigation system. They said that the forebay was empty and that they would re-start the water by Monday if it filled over the weekend. This (above) is what it looks like today (Saturday), so I have hopes for a restart. On the other hand, it is only the beginning of May and the city has already implemented a one-day watering schedule (instead of the normal two). I also went to Yankee (below) to see if we were dry at 9,000 feet. It is down a little, but I've seen it worse, so maybe we are OK for now. On the other hand, we are sitting at just 33% of normal moisture for the calendar year (29% for the water year), so, cheer up, things may soon be worse.
