[quote utwalleye]Hey Pat. I remember reading some article many years ago that Utah Lake had some kind of water rights that was going to come from strawberry. There was some kind of agreement done many many years ago, do you know anything about this ??
This is real bad, how could the state let such a great resource like Ut. Lake get to this. I guess it comes down to, someone didn't do their job.
I feel for you guys.[/quote]
[#0000ff]Most of the water from Strawberry flows into Starvation and then downstream to the Green and Colorado River. But, as has been mentioned, there is the pipeline to Diamond Fork...which feeds into the Spanish Fork River.
As I see it, the problem is a combination of several bad water years in a row and poor planning and anticipation.
The current set of circumstances has never occurred before so nobody thought it could happen. But now that it has they have 20-20 hindsight. We can only hope it serves to make them more careful in the future...and that they take steps to reduce the factors that led to it.
Within a few weeks we will have feedback on any actual fish kills...or the levels of toxins in the fish that make them inedible for humans.
