victim services providers an eye on water demand

CANNON BEACH — The
city of Cannon Beach is now
dipping into Ecola Creek water
supply — about a month ahead
of schedule for the ¿ rst time in
15 years.
The Public Works Depart-
ment started the Ecola plant up
in late July , drawing 100 gal-
lons per minute to supplement
water that comes from three
mountain springs during the
summer.
“In a normal year, we’d
usually make it to Labor Day
weekend,” Public Works Di-
rector Dan Grassick said.
But it’s been a dry summer,
with .85 inches of rain in June
and only .66 during July, well
below the 1.51 inch average.
There were 21 consecutive
days without rain from the end
of May into June and another
21 straight from the end of June
through July, according to the
National Weather Service.
Grassick said it became a
struggle to keep the reservoirs
full.
It was during the middle of
June that demand began ex-
ceeding capacity. At ¿ rst, it was
just once a week, not much to
worry about, Grassick said. The
reservoirs could be ¿ lled back
up over a couple of days.
But then two weeks passed
and staff still hadn’t been able
to ¿ ll the reservoir fully.
With the hot, dry weather
forecast to continue, Grassick
said it became important to
keep the reservoirs full for safe-
ty reasons, in case of a ¿ re .
Demand is higher on the
weekends, too, when more
tourists are in town, especially
in late July and early August.
Grassick said the bulk of
the demand has been irrigation,
which started a month sooner
than usual with the dry weather.
