The
reason
why
the
irrigation
district
does
it
is
that
for
one,
it
just
makes
sense..
You
have
falling
water,
that
has
energy
that
should
be
harnessed
in
a
renewable
and
sustainable
way,
and
it
also
creates
an
additional
revenue
stream
for
the
district
who
are
dependent
for
the
assessments
from
the
patrons..

That
starts
at
the
bridge.
Creek
intake,
facility.,
so
what's
unique
about
this
new
surface
water
system
will
be
that
we
will
have
downstream
flow
control
on
our
new
pipeline
and
that
will
allow
us
to
turn
down
or
turn
off
the
flow
of
water
thru
our
pipeline,
when
our
demand
dictates
that
we
don't
need
to
run
it,
and
that
equates
to
more
water
in
the
creek
just
below
tumalow
falls.
