Salinity
ALL GRAND VALLEY WATER USERS ASSOCIATION IRRIGATORS
The GVWUA was awarded a Salinity Control Program Grant to line approximately one mile of canal through the Palisade area. This project is scheduled to take place while water is out of the canal in the fall and winter months of 2016/17 and 2017/18. Any remaining work must be finished by December 31, 2018.
To accommodate an aggressive construction schedule during these fall and winter months, irrigation water will be turned out of the canal Tuesday morning November 1, 2016. Open laterals in the Ride 1 service area, approximately between 26 Road and 28 Road, may have to be shut down earlier should leaf fall create flooding issues. We will make every attempt to keep all laterals open until November 1st.
Thank you, we appreciate your cooperation.
