Default Whoops!

Strange news an hour ago!
One of the two tanks storing water from the Prairie Creek Diversion collapsed.
Permit for diversion is good till December 21/22.
I have to wonder if or when they will fill up another tank.
Worst time of year for diversion is from now till field melt. Field melt results in a small bump in flows for a couple of weeks.
Then it’s back to very low flows till rain seeps to springs feeding the creek.

And it just got stranger. Now they are laying hose for what may be a frac job but they only have one tank left.
If you could do a frac with a single tank, why fill two?

The silliness continues.

Stay turned for more shenanigans from a Polish Oil Company!
