Show Plenty (More) 8mm LAYTON -- There's plenty of snowpack up in them thar hills. THAT'S THE word from Weber Basin Water Conservancy Conser-vancy District officials who say there is "more than enough water in the mountains now to fill the reservoirs this spring." Runoff forecasts for the district, dis-trict, which includes Davis County, ranges from 1 12 to 133 percent of average. East Canyon Ca-nyon is expected to have the heaviest spring flow with Wan-ship Wan-ship Reservoir the least. In between, be-tween, Echo Reservoir is expected ex-pected to receive 1 14 percent of average and Lost Creek 121 percent. AND THE water really isn't needed, according to storage records at the end of January. The four reservoirs averaged 67 percent of their capacity as of that date with East Canyon and Wanship already 85 percent per-cent filled to capacity, district officials explained. Pineview Reservoir, on the Ogden River side serving Weber We-ber County, is expected to receive re-ceive runoff totaling about 125 percent of normal. Causey Reservoir Re-servoir is expected to get 117 percent of average. DAVIS COUNTY farmers should have no problems getting get-ting their full allotment of water wa-ter this summer. And if the summer is not too hot and dry, there should be sufficient water wa-ter left over to provide adequ ate irrigation water supply for another season. Meanwhile, water will be released re-leased soon to allow for the reservoirs re-servoirs to fill to capacity without with-out reaching an overflow level, it was explained, grb |
