Grand Valley Irrigation Company has completed piping the concrete, trapezoidal ditch near 1st Street and Patterson Road. The project area extends from the northeast corner of Westlake Park to the south end of Knollwood Drive. It is piped with 24-inch PVC pipe for most of its length.

This improvement will be of significant benefit to the shareholders, as it will provide water with less debris and will inhibit the deposition of silt.
