The Nevada Irrigation District lost nearly 1 million gallons of raw, untreated water back into Wolf Creek Sunday morning.
According to Public Information Officer Tomi Riley, the district learned that the Tarr Ditch, an irrigation canal used to transport raw water for 115 customers in the Penn Valley and Wolf Mountain area, was going dry around 7 a.m. Sunday.
Riley said upon investigation, an operator found damage to a spill structure used to uptake water along the canal.
“We definitely had vandalism at Tarr Ditch, which caused the water to go out from intake back into the creek,” Riley said.
Riley said the district currently categorizes the incident as vandalism as opposed to water theft, although 1 million gallons of water was “lost” over the four hours between learning about the damage and repairing it.

It welcomed its new general manager Jennifer Hanson. And it declared a drought.
Hanson, who previously served as Lincoln’s city manager, will be NID’s 15th general manager and the first woman to head the district in its 100-year history.
Division 1 Director Ricki Heck said the board chose Hanson to replace interim General Manager Greg Jones because of her financial expertise evident in a robust resume and several positive recommendations.
The Board of Directors unanimously vote for Jennifer Hanson to become the water district’s new general manager.

NID Board President Chris Bierwagon noted the board’s transition to majority women for the first time in its century-long existence earlier this year, after Karen Hull replaced five-term Division 4 incumbent W. Scott Miller in the November 2020 election. Hull joined ranks with Division 1 Director Heck and Division 4 Director and NID Board Vice President Laura Peters.
