Crews had been working for two days previous to the rupture Dec, 18, to keep the canal free of ice flows, but the con-, tinued cold built up more of an ice jam than the ditch could take and it gave away. The district put out an urgent call for laborers, The Snow Mountain ditch was closed, trying to avert more ice jamming and Nevada City, Willow Valley and all other areas served by Snow Mountain were using reserves, All residents were urged to conserve the supply. By Wednesday afternoon the state of emergency continued, and residents of Grass Valley and Nevada City were warned that while they had water remaining in their emergency reservoirs they should not be waste“ful with theif supply. On. Wednesday, the D-S Canal was the only one of the three main canals running normally. This canal comes out of Scotts Flat, at a lower elevation than the Cascade Ditch and Snow Mountain Ditch and those areas fed by the D-S were not included in the emergency. A trickle of water was running in Cascade Wednesday, the ditch having been repaired late Tuesday. In the western part of the county, Penn Valley and Smartville areas, water was available as that supply came from Deer Creek and the water supplies at lower elevations were not in critical shape. At the Nevada General Hospital, which is supplied by Snow. Mountain Ditch, there was no water until the 49er and Nevada City Fire Departments joined forces and hooked up a fire hose to the nearest hydrant. Wednesday, a pumper truck remained Curtails Water at the scene to pump the water supply to the facility. Thursday, Snow Mountain Ditch was put back into oper. ation and a small amount of water was coming from Cascade Canal. Stanley Wendt, manager of maintenance and operation for NID, said at that time that Cascade had been cleared of anchor . ice and that the upper areas had water. Banner Mountain water users also had a supply Thursday, but the lower areas such as Rattlesnake, Alta Sierra and Cherry Creek Areas were not expected to have their normal amount of water flow until Friday. Wendt reported that his emergency call for workers to help clear the ditches brought an immediate response, Thursday, the Nevada General Hospital was still using its emergency hook-up. Three agencies ‘finally went into action to get the water to the institution, the Nevada City Fire Department, the 49er District and the State Division of Forestry.
