Here’s the draft email…
Hi David,
Today on 8/3/2015 between 8:30-9:00 AM, Coleman began irrigating Section 1 on the north side with river water from Molalla. There is a check valve that separates his private river irrigation line from our recycled water lines. Prior to the startup, Jake Ehredt was on site to verify the check valve was closed and no recycled water flowed to the hand lines in Section 1. This test was conducted while we were irrigating other areas of Coleman’s fields. Jake next verified that when Coleman started his river water irrigation system, water began pumping to and flowing from the hand lines in Section 1.
As of now Coleman is only planning to irrigate Section 1 to green the pasture up for his calves. He informed Jake he will be operating the hand lines in Section 1, 24 hours a day. If anything changes with Coleman’s irrigation location or if the City begins irrigating in Section 1 again, I will notify you.
Regards,
Jennifer Cline, P.E.
