Water Supply
06-26-26: During Rotation 1, some may see water in the open ditches. This does not mean there has been a change to the rotation schedule. Any extra water we have is being sent down the open ditches to keep them wet, helping make the Monday switchover more efficient.
Switch-over will occur every Monday morning, for a 7 day ON, 7 day OFF rotation. View rotation assignment here.
Our water supply is solely dependent on the weather, so we have no way to predict when we will have to shut off for the season.
