Corps cuts off water flow
announced prior to that closure.
The water quality structure
allows the Corps to release clean
surface water into the creek,
rather than
drawing and
releasing the sulfur-smelling
water from near the bottom of
the lake.
"We want to inspect and repair
the structure now while the
weather is fairly mild so our
disruption to the irrigators is
minimized," Davidson said. In
addition," the sooner the
structure is working, the better
the creek will smell."
Once the structure is in place,
the flows in the creek will return
to about 11 cfs.
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers warned irrigators that
water flowing into Willow Creek
was to be cut off for about four
hours between noon and 4 p.m.
on June 9.
The Corps needed about that
much time to inspect a water
quality structure on the dam to
assess needed repairs. During
this time, the current flow ot
about 11 cubic feet per second
(cfs) of water was to be reduced
to 3 cfs, said Corps hydrologist
Russ Davidson.
In about two weeks the flows
will need to be decreased again
so repairs can be made. The
exact date and times will be
