Mark your calendar for June 22, 2011 for the 100 yr. celebration of water delivery from Salmon Dam. The event begins at 10:00 am at Salmon Dam. Lt. Gov. Brad Little will be attending. Building of this dam was an extremely important event in the building of the towns of Hollister, Rogerson, and Berger. People came from all over to begin farming on the Salmon Tract. Come join the celebration.

The Board of Directors would like to encourage interested people to make comments concerning all the traffic that would use the roadway over the dam for the construction of the proposed China Mountain Wind Tower Project. The Board feel this amount of traffic maybe detrimental to the one lane roadway over the dam.

A new bridge was proposed to the North of the existing reservoir crossing five years ago. This would be a likely alternative for a crossing. The amount of proposed traffic over the dam could fatigue the aged concrete dam structure.

These comments are due no later that July 6, 2011. Please send comments to your State Legislators and County commissioners.
