Show Prospects Excellent For Continued High Water Supply Following the big storm of Sunday, May 11 which dropped .97 of an inch of moisture in Parowan valley, the weather has continued warm and has brought a plentiful supply of high water from the Parowan Canyons to the aid of farmers of the valley. It is reported that as high as 60 second sec-ond feet of water has been com- ing out of the canyon for the; past week. The high water is now finished in the Bowery area of first left hand and the major part of it is now coming from the Dry Lakes area and Main Canyon, but the high water from the Second Left Hand and Dark Hollow Hol-low areas is Just getting started now. Two men, S. M. Clark and Vern Mortensen are reported to have visited th. Yankee Reservoir one day this week and were able to go past the Yankee to the forks of the road In Second Left Hand Canyon. They report that the Yankee Reservoir only lacks a few feet of being up to the spillway spill-way and that there is plenty of snow yet to feed the creeks flowing flow-ing into that storage place. A rumor that the water from Dark Hollow wasn't running into the Yankee has caused the water wat-er owners some concern, and Glen Holyoak, head of the reservoir reser-voir company reports that a man was to be sent up there today, Thursday to ascertain if the water wa-ter has broken out of its channel and is not reaching the reservoir. At any rate prospects for continued con-tinued high water are very good with much snow still laying in the Dark Hollow and Bear Flat areas of the Parowan watershed. |
