WORK AT THE FUSE PLUG AREA WAS REQUIRED AS THE HIGHER FLOWS AT THE BEGINNING OF WINTER WATER STORAGE BEGAN TO FLOW OVER THE CONCRETE OR SO WE THOUGHT. MOST OF THE OVERFLOW WAS PIPING UNDERNEATH THE CONCRETE STRUCTURE FROM THE WEST END TO THE EAST END OF THE NORTH STRUCTURE. CONCRETE AND DIRT WERE HAULED IN TO REPAIR THE LEAK AND STOP THE PIPING. HIGHER FLOWS AND DITCH PRESSURE CAUSED THE PIPING TO REOCCUR. THE DRAIN GATE AREA WAS REPACKED AND ALSO RIPRAPPED HIGHER UP ON THE DITCH.

Maintenance 2009 STORAGE: FROM JACK HALL’S TO THE HOLBROOK SIPHON THERE WERE MANY SPOTS OF THE BANKS THAT HAD SLUFFED OFF. HOLBROOK SEEP, LOTS OF RAIN AND THE PLUG AT HORSE CREEK HAVE ALL BEEN CONTRIBUTING FACTORS ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT WE STORED THE COLORADO SPRINGS WATER AFTER WINTER WATER WAS OVER. WE HAVE SINCE DONE THE REPAIR WORK TO THE BANKS. THE DIVISION HAS BEEN MOWED WHILE TREE SPRAYING AND SERVICE ROAD BLADING ARE CURRENLY UNDER WAY . LAJUNTA: WEEDS HAVE BEEN MOWED AND THE DIVISION BLADED. ROCK WAS HAULED FOR WASHES AND ROCK IN FRONT OF HEAD GATES BETWEEN BEAMAN BRIDGE AND THE ROAD 7 BRIDGE. JETTIES WERE ALSO PUT IN PLACES WHERE THE BANKS WERE STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN LAS ANIMAS: THE DIVISION WAS RECENTLY MOWED AND BLADED IN MOST AREAS. HASTY CHECK WORKED ON THE LAST RUN HOWEVER THERE IS STILL SOME WORK THAT WILL NEED TO BE COMPLETED BY SATURDAY PM (9/5/09). ROCKWORK FROM ROAD 7 TO ROAD 12 HAS BEEN COMPLETED. LIMESTONE : ROCK WAS USED TO FIX IN FRONT OF SOME HEAD GATES AND WEIRS IN THE UPPER PART OF THE DIVISION. SOME JETTIES WERE ALSO PLACED IN SPOTS ON THE SERVICE SIDE IN THE SAME AREA. WEIRS WERE CLEANED IN FRONT OF AND THE MOWER HAS MOVED THRU THE DIVISION. ARBOR CHECK ALSO HAD SOME MINOR WORK DONE. LAMAR : THURSTON CHANNEL HAS BEEN CLEARED OF TREES AND ALSO CLEANED OUT IN PREPARATION OF THE POSSIBILITY OF PROVING OUR 25 CFS PUMPING STATION WHICH IS AT THE POINT WHERE WE MUST PROVE IT UP OR LOSE IT. WE ARE CONSIDERING TWO POSSIBILITIES OF THE PUMP STATION. ONE IS TO ADD ANOTHER DIESEL ENGINE AND PUMP TO THE EXISTING STATION ALONG WITH ANOTHER LINE OR GOING WITH FLOATER PUMPS SIMILAR TO WHAT THE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS USE. OUR INTENT IS TO PROVE UP THE WATER RIGHT AND USE THE STATION AT TIMES DURING THE YEAR WHEN IT CAN BE AN ADVANTAGE TO THE COMPANY. WE DO NOT INTEND TO TOTALLY DRAIN THE LAKE AS SOME ARE NOW SAYING.
