| As you will recall, we recently experienced
flooding resulting from many days of continuous rain which caused
the Virgin River to overflow its banks. Some of us had water up to
our homes and some may even have gotten their feet wet! So, for your
information, and possible future need, sand bags are available at
the town's recreation hall and sand can be made available to those
not able to get river bank sand - just call the Town Clerk, the Mayor
or a Town Council member should the need arise once again. |

I mentioned in the last newsletter that we had received 5"
of moisture already in our water year. As of this writing,
we are now at over 16". I believe that this January will
go down as one of the wettest. I haven't seen
the old Virgin River flow that big since December of 1966.
I believe the CFS during the last eventwas 4500 and in 1966 it
was 9100. This should be a good wakeup to everyone as to where
we build in our community.
On another note, I would like to remind residents that if you have
a road problem please let me know and I will try to get it taken
care of as soon as possible, either
I with our town equipment or with Allen Lee, as soon as he can get
to ill realize that the road to the south bench has been a problem
all winter as well as the Grafton Road. I would urge folks that
do not have to travel on those roads during extreme wet conditions
to limit travel. It only makes it worse for the ones that have to
use them to get home or to property. If I am not available please
let Mayor McGuire know that you have a problem so it can be taken
care of. ,Also, please remember that if you arrange for work to
be I done on the roads yourself, that it is your responsibility to
cover the cost.
