A rockslide at Gallagher Lake on January 25 damaged a section of irrigation flume, shown here. A temporary fix is currently underway, and the Town hopes to turn the irrigation on by April 18.
Repair work on the irrigation canal at Gallagher Lake has changed the original opening date from April 11 to April 18.
The Town may be able to send water through the canal by April 13 or 14, depending on how the work is going and there are no complications. But the repair may require a few days to assess to ensure everything is ready for water flow.
The Town will strive for irrigation turn-ons starting the week of April 18.
A section of flume was damaged by a rock slide above Gallagher Lake on January 25, and crews have been working to repair it. The temporary fix involves inserting two sleeves into the pipe, but a permanent fix must subsequently be completed.
