The Grand Valley Irrigation District will today begin the process of temporarily draining the Grand Valley Canal. This decision was made to rule out the possibility that a missing 3 year old girl who was reported missing last night may have fallen into the canal. It is unclear whether or not this will affect our irrigation system. We recommend that irrigation water either be turned off or monitored so that your system does not run without water. The sheriff’s office advises that this is a slow process and it could take 48 hours to drain enough to search. Updates will be forthcoming as we receive them.

Bob Handford
