8 Summer 2014 Applegater
Low flows forecasted
on the Applegate River
Currently there is little snowpack in the Applegate
Watershed. This may result in diminished flows in
tributaries and the main stem of the Applegate River
this summer.
In this event, junior water rights whose source is
live flow would be regulated off.
If you depend on the Applegate Reservoir storage
for primary or supplemental water for irrigation, make
sure your U.S. Bureau of Reclamation contracts for
use of stored water are current.
To verify if your contract for use of stored water
is current, contact Bill Parks with the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation at 208-378-5344.
Burn reminder
Before burning outdoors any time of year, check
with your fire district to make sure that day is an
official burn day
and not a NO burn day.
