Repair Leak on Selah Ditch In Upper Naches Valley
The leak in the Selah ditch last Friday afternoon has been repaired and the ditch is now in good condition. It occurred at the west end of the tunnel on the McWhorter ranch and overflowed the Wapatex ditch. Water was turned off in both ditches to repair it, causing little property damage beyond the ditch itself. Ranchers nearby said earlier detection prevented potential major damage.
