Welcome to the Issues
Central's system is 100s of miles long across multiple counties with decisions affecting the entire state. The issues are complex. Here are few that matter most to Kyle in Lincoln County.
Water Supply
Lake Mac is low. The dam was built
for irrigation. But not all of the water
is for Central Irrigators. Shepherd
aims to protect the lake for
irrigators and recreators against
outside interests.
Lincoln County Lakes and Lake Mac
The water that runs out of Lake Mac
travels through Lincoln County where
multiple power plants and reservoirs
are located. Advocating for additional
water from Colorado through the
Perkins Canal will be key to kepping
these systems operating well into the
future.
Lasting Safety of Dams
Kingsley Dam is damaged but SAFE!
It needs to be repaired to store water
effectively. The funding will be a
challenge. Federal and State
cooperation will be key.
