New Low Water Dam For City Completed
Construction of Barker's Riffle dam on the Neosho River north of town is complete except for installing the release valve and minor cleanup. City Engineer Paschal Grimes says the valve’s absence does not stop dam operations, as a temporary cover can be used until delivery from Pueblo, Colorado. The 285 foot structure, five feet above the riffle, adds storage to supplement the municipal dam and is expected to provide about 90 days of city water if the river runs dry.
