ANNOUNCEMENTS

Due to the early runoff conditions and low snowpack FMC intends to have water available in the canal during the first week of April depending on river and weather conditions.  Levels in the canal may fluctuate with conditions of the river.  Currently the primary goal is to fill Paonia Reservoir, which has a considerable ways to go.  If shareholders above Leroux Creek would contact the ditch rider prior to turning on their water, this will help maintain a flow on the canal.  It is quite obvious that water is going to be short this year and it is a good possibility that the Reservoir will not fill.  Please plan accordingly. We will post update as conditions allow.  Thank you for your patience.
