Northern Pacific Irrigation Completes Kennewick Dam Improvements
The Northern Pacific Irrigation To has finished major repairs at the Kennewick canal dam costing 1700 dollars. To reduce leakage during a low Yakima river in August, they covered the river bed and dam face with sand and soil up to eight feet high, built a narrow gauge rail on the dam, and added rock work. A premier fish ladder was installed to aid fish passage. The river now shows five feet of water at the dam, two feet above the required level, with winter repair plans underway. The Kennewick canal aims to be a first class ditch.
