Friends,
Today we received the following information from the Mesa County Irrigation District, the district that supplies and controls our irrigation water:
“With the recent rainfall and more predicted coming, MCID will temporarily shut down irrigation water in the Stub Ditch and M laterals off of Highline Canal 9/3 for about a week to 10 days. This will allow growers and farmers downstream to irrigate their crops as needed. Depending on the weather and rainfall, MCID will start up (the irrigation water) again when needed.”
As indicated above, the MCID is making this decision to protect our farmers and our food supply. I’ve been in conversation with the MCID in recent days and they do not make this decision lightly. The water will be turned off on this Thursday, so we would encourage you to turn off your systems before then to avoid any potential damage to your system. If and when the HOA learns that irrigation water is being restored, we will notify you via email and the website. You can also FOLLOW the MCID on Facebook, where they will be posting updates.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
David Dethmers, Walnut Estates HOA President
