Overland Shareholders:
We will most likely be starting the drain down on the Overland Ditch, the end of this week, or beginning of next week. Please note, all days are estimates and may change. I will update as we move forward.
Redlands Mesa Water Users Shareholders:
During the Overland drain down, we will not be running any (Project) late water shares. We cannot deliver your water, if we cannot maintain a steady flow. I will let you know if we will be excepting late water orders on Wednesday (July 22, 2020) or not. After the drain down, Project (late) water will continue as normal. I will post updates as we move forward. Drain down can last 2 to 6 days. Please note all days are estimates and may change.

Redlands Mesa Water Users:
We will be accepting late water orders for Friday July 31, 2020. Please have your orders in one of the drop off boxes by Wednesday July 28, 2020 at 6:00 pm.
Overland Shareholders:
As of this morning, the Reservoir is open all the way. The flow will drop very fast from here on out. The drain down will be over in the next few days.
Redlands Mesa Shareholder:
We should be able to except orders on Wednesday July 29, 2020 for late water, for the Friday July 31, 2020 box set. In order for everyone to get their water, it is important to work with your neighbors that run on the same lateral as you. The more orders on each lateral the better the flow. Let’s make the remainder of the irrigation season, better for everyone. If you have any questions or would like to work with others, please give Shellie a call.
Redlands Mesa Shareholders:
We will NOT be running late water orders on Friday. We will not be accepting orders until further notice. I will let you know when the Overland drain down is over and we can take late water orders again. Hopefully we will be able to run Friday July 31, 2020. Check back for updates.
Overland Shareholders:
We will be in the drain down period in the next couple of days. Flow will continue to drop.
