<br />induced the contractor to do a little extra <br />work and we hope that that bridge will be in <br />operation this fall. If the contractor con- <br />tinues his plans, he will divert water around <br />the dam site area sometime late this winter or <br />early next spring. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Going on to our paonia project, that <br />project has now been turned over to the water <br />users. There is some minor work yet to be <br />done to complete the project. <br /> <br />On the Smith Fork project, Crawford Dam <br />is completed and we are storing water in that <br />structure.
