Starting in 2022, the scenic and ecosystem-sustaining Arnold Canal could be filled in.
Consequences include:
• Negatively Impacting Groundwater Wells
• Destroying/Damaging Trees and Vegetation
• Destroying Wildlife Habitat
• Property Damage, Dust and Noise During Construction
• Reducing Property Value
This seven-year, $42 Million project will help few and harm many.
Not even AID’s irrigating patrons are confident that the pipe will improve their water delivery–there isn’t enough elevation drop to support a pressurized delivery system and many of AID’s delivery issues are on their laterals system, not the main canal.
There are alternative solutions! But there can be no discussion until this “All Or Nothing” steamroller of a proposal is stopped.
