I met with Bob Hamilton of Clear Creek Crossing and Doug Clegg of Spring Creek Manor to look over the various boxes downstream from our water system. We cleared out a few pieces of wood, but nothing major is visible that might be blocking the irrigation pipes. We then notified the ditch manager to open up the water to our lateral for testing.

The results? More flooding onto Eagle Rd.

It appears that some water is getting through the system but there is enough of a backup to cause the box near Eagle Rd. to overflow. The water will be shut down again and we will do more investigating downstream looking for problems as well as pumping out the box near Eagle Rd. to try to spot some sort of blockage.

More updates as soon as I have them. Thank goodness for cloudy skies and rain in the forecast.
