Still looks like next weekend before measureable rainfall. How is things in BSG looking?
I know their talking of how to take care of water for the prison, by trucking in water. I was just wondering how bad the situation was or if it was looking up, any at all?
still not looking good
yeah it aint lookin' too good for us down here in the gap... i was up at the prison last night, they gave the fire dept. a dinner and a tour, and they told us like you said, they're bringing in tankers of water...and there only flushing there toilets 4 times a day
13 days of water left. Poor planning on the dam construction. I think they could have built the thing without draining the whole lake in the first place.

exactly.. they wasted sooo much water when they let all of that just runoff.. plus they sold alot of it too...
what are we gonna do if we run outta big churry? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]
I just wonder what would happen if we had a major fire. There is not enough water to fight one.
And they are talking about taking water out of the Powell River. Have you seen the river lately? Hardly enough water in it to get your feet wet. We need a long steady rain. BIG TIME.

HOW'S THAT HOPE AND CHANGE WORKING OUT FOR YA ??????
Don't sound good. And i was thinking the same today about the river.
In spots you can walk across the small river bed rocks and you won't get your feet wet.
I was told the town was told they had to keep the lake 5 ft. down from the overflow level this past spring, something about the new lake? If that is the case, that 5 feet is a lot of water.
Sounds like well some poor planning to me. And how will they use the Powell if they even can? A make shift water plant at the river? The Powell is a long ways from Cracker's Neck. And the river in the Neck was fed by Big Cherry. So you know if the Cherry is down that low they can't get water there. Sounds like someone dropped the ball on this.
And i heard that the prison was bringing in water from Pound because the prison there was paying for the water. And the town was gonna let them use the half million gallon storage tank to put the water in.
Man what a mess. Guys i hope things get better. I hope we get a few days of steady rain, maybe it will help end this mess.
what we would do if we had a major fire?
well being on the fire dept. here in BSG, were not supposed to let them burn, save what you can is a big saying around here, but if it comes right down to it, i dunno what's gonna happen to tell you the truth
