A meeting and participatory workshop, Ditch Hazards Awareness & Safety, will be held Monday, April 14 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Ramada Inn, 752 Horizon Drive in Grand Junction, Colo.
One of the largest ditch companies in Colorado, the Grand Valley Irrigation Company (GVIC) of Grand Junction, will hold this free, public educational workshop focused on safety issues and drowning prevention along and in the service areas of the ditch.
The evening workshop includes the history and workings of GVIC, a session on the legal aspects of safety, and a participatory workshop to create proactive steps to prevent mishaps and drowning. Officials from GVIC, the Ditch and Reservoir Company Alliance, the City of Grand Junction and Mesa County will be present to work with people to create plans.
Representatives from other ditch and reservoir companies from all over Colorado are encouraged to attend so that they will be able to adopt similar educational workshops for their respective ditch companies.
All residents concerned about ditch safety issues are invited to attend this free workshop. Please contact the Grand Valley Irrigation Company at (970) 242-2762 or DARCA at (970) 412-1960 for more details.
