PILOT ROCK â Six candidates are running for positions on the board of the Birch Creek Water Control District this year in response to flooding around Pilot Rock in recent years.
âThis is the first year that weâve actually had very much interest because of the floods weâve had just recently,â said Charles Hemphill, a longtime board member and resident.
The board utilizes a tax base to help with residentsâ requests for repairing the waterways near Pilot Rock that have been damaged by flooding and prevent floodwaters from causing further damage. Residents living along East and West Birch Creek roads are eligible to apply for funds from the district.
