The line parallels Salt Creek and the swollen creek both this year and last has eaten away vast year amounts of real estate, including the land in which the -culinary line was buried. Last year the line was broken during the flood season, and was later repaired. The high water broke a new section of the line this year, however. City crews worked Friday and Saturday trying to save the line, but lost their battle Sunday about noon. When they saw their efforts were in vain, the water was turned out of the line so when the line was washed out, there was no contamination of the water system. The line also carries water from Marsh Springs located farther down the canyon. The break in the line was above Marsh Springs, and water from Marsh is still going into the system. Water from the Jones Well is also going into the system, and there is no water shortage, says Randy city administrator. The city is still trying to save the line at key points so that temporary repairs may be made on the line following the flood Me-Knigh- t, season.

The dam slows down the water just enough so that it drops its load of gravel and then continues down the channel. The gravel can then be removed from the channel by city equipment.
