Roadway at Elkwater Remains Intact After Inflows
Mr. Russell of the Irrigation Department toured Elkwater and found the island conditions caused by creek diversions largely undamaged. Water overflows did not injure the roadway, a culvert screen prevents fish from entering meadows, and lake marshes north of the lake are submerged for the first time in years. The creek dam will be inspected in days by Mr. Moore to confirm water reach, with the dam’s south side needing repairs if lake levels rise further.
