October temperatures were slightly higher than normal (2 degrees) with a nice storm arriving mid-month bringing .36" of rain. Total rain for the month was .49" compared to an average for October of .73".
If you haven't dialed back the watering times on your controller, it's now time to cut back to 10 or 20% or even turn it off. There's plenty of moisture in the ground now as weather cools.
The Kings River Pipeline is a 13.1-mile-long, 72-inch-diameter water pipeline that will transport untreated water from the Kings River to the new Southeast Surface Water Treatment Facility (SESWTF) to be located at the northwest corner of Armstrong and Olive Avenues on 58 acres. The pipeline route will begin at a diversion point near the Fresno Canal #3 crossing of East Trimmer Springs Road, and will travel west along Belmont Avenue to Armstrong Avenue, then north along Armstrong Avenue to the SESWTF. The pipeline will bring water into the facility for treatment and distribution to customers throughout the City, reducing reliance on groundwater and replenishing groundwater supplies. The current schedule shows construction to begin in Summer 2016 with completion in Spring 2018.
The purpose of the community meeting is to meet with the Belmont Country Club and Water Corporation community to discuss and gather input on specific elements of the design and construction plans. During the November 18 meeting, attendees will hear from City representatives about the pipeline design and construction schedules. Residents will have the opportunity to ask questions about and provide input on design and construction issues. The City looks forward to discussing the Kings River Pipeline plans with the community.
