Rimrock Wildfire Information

We are pleased to report that we successfully made it to the end of our water season despite the tremendous challenges we faced in the aftermath of the Rimrock Retreat wildfire. While running reduced operations, we were still able to deliver water to the community and our patrons, a significant accomplishment given the extensive damage sustained by the canal. This
marks the completion of phase one of our recovery.

As we transition into phase two, our focus is on preparing for the next season and restoring full capacity. This winter poses serious challenges, particularly with the forecast of a La Niña event, which could bring excessive rainfall. This adds urgency to our work, and we are proactively addressing these potential environmental challenges. Several contractors are on-site, working diligently. Washington Conservation Corp. (WCC), with materials from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, have installed wildlife crossings.
