1. Meter Flow, Orders by Source, Bear River Actual & Gate — Past Week

Hourly Picovale meter flow with the total order, the AKT and Bear River orders, Bear River's reported actual (from pump reports), and the implied AKT use (meter − Bear River actual; overflow not subtracted, so an upper bound) — all left axis in cfs — plotted against the North Ditch gate setting (right axis, inches), Aug 3 – Aug 9. Bear River actual and implied-AKT lines break where no pump report exists:

5. Gate → Meter Response

The gate is at 9.5″ (set 8/7). Recent daily-average flow: 23.6 (8/5), 25.4 (8/6), 22.8 (8/7), 21.7 (8/8), 21.9 (8/9). The 24-h mean is 21.7 cfs with scatter min 20.6, max 23.1, SD 0.7 — supply is running about 1.7 cfs over the 20 cfs order.

Calibration: at the current 9.5″ the rating point is 9.5″ → 20.2 cfs (n=93). Fit: cfs ≈ 3.0×in -11.3, so 20 cfs → ~10.3″. The website gate calculator uses this regression.

6. Weekly Shareholder Notes

Tail-end observation (8/9): Flow past the last turnout measured ~10 cfs at 9:30 AM today, up from ~4.5 cfs at 9:30 AM yesterday. With ~22.7 cfs entering the canal against a 20 cfs order, more than 5 cfs is currently running to waste at the tail — deliveries are drawing well under the ordered total. The district will adjust the head gate accordingly; shareholders should confirm their actual pumping needs so orders can be trued up.
