Water shortage & Swarthout Creek - rafting

[Wrightwood]

Now that this topic has been brought to the top again -

What is the current water level situations in the wells and storage tanks?

Have not heard anything lately.

I spoke with someone from the water company on Monday and they said the water table is definitely rising.

If we have additional periods of heavy snow/rain during the next 3 months, don't be surprised if water doesn't start percolating out of the blue zone areas this year

Good to hear that they are on the rise.  Hope it stays in the ground!

Is there a map of where the blue zones are?

Yes there are maps of the blue zone.
When you buy a house in Wrightwood, the real estate agent should let you know if your house is in it or not.
Mandatory flood insurance is one of the less pleasant "side effects". So are springs under your house after very wet winters. But it doesn't happen too often.

As I remember, when water percolates out of the ground after wet winters, it's in Robin Circle (formerly Robin Lake), the old apple orchard west of Acorn, west of Acorn at Snowbird, west of Cardinal at Swallow Hill, Swallow Hill east of Logwood, and the area south of the water company maintenance building on the water road just west of Swallow Hill.
Anyone know of other spots?

The "Blue Zone" seems to shift, depending upon to whom one is speaking!!!!

On Mill St. where Wright's Lake used to be.

Is there any info regarding MH water usuage since  meters where put into place ( I think last summer)?

Lisa - I hope you see this or someone tells you about it - can you please send me your references or links to the statements below about the 1899 designation - or if someone else knows.... this will benefit us all - we do not want to become Big Bear or the like and we need to maintain the rights we have - we be small - but the gross income of this area probably makes up for most of San Bernardino City! We need COunty services to be dolled out fairly
THank you VERY MUCH - all help appreciated!

The same question about the Country Club was asked in another topic. The Club does have a legal right to use the water and is used by hundreds of families so it does not appear to be an abuse in my mind.

No, I am not a member of the club so my opinion is not swayed from personal wants.

The Country Club lake is a natural sag pond located on the San Andreas fault; along with Jackson Lake, Wright Lake, Lost Lake, etc.

The Country Club does choose to regulate when they fill or empty the lake so it is a little different. The water does have the ability to percolate back into the Swarthout Creek where it came from and that's one of the key issues.

Since Swarthout Creek is recognized as a subterranean flow of a stream, recognized by the State Water Commission with case references back to 1899, the owners of the Country Club have a right as a riparian owner to the water. Let's not forget that Sumner B. Wright and Kate S. Wright have used water from Swarthout Creek under riparian and prescriptive rights since 1888. (all documented in State Water Commission records and that's what makes water law in our state)

Now that's not the case with MH water usage. It's a "whole" different story.

Hmmm. 

It says that this person has THREE postings...

Yet only this ONE is available to view.

I am unable to decipher what this person wants this info for...

Anyone else feel more illuminated by this post than I do?

Do you think he is a Wrightwoodian?

Or a pro Mountain High person?

This is very early for me to be up and I don't drink coffee...

So maybe I'm the only one confused by the intention here

greenfencejumper,
Suspicious? Are you serious?

It's hard to believe that you would wait 2.5 years to complain about a deleted coyote posting. Maybe your posting was off topic, posted in the wrong area or mistakenly deleted. We've had lots of coyote postings that are not deleted. The other deleted post that your referring to, I have no idea what it is.

What do these topics have to do with a water shortage topic?

I am certainly suspicious because 2 posts cant be seen - if you ask the maker of this web site you will probably find out that they are so old they are no longer here. As I recall they were about people feeding coyotes and other wildlife which is illegal and bad for the wildlife as well.

[greenfencejumper]

Sorry but you are off base here - I think you need to re-read my post and the reply to it wherein LasPulgas on May 30 makes me sounds suspicious and quesitons my motives about a WATER question in a Water string - because I have had only 3 posts and BUT 2 cant be seen... and then even questions if I live in Wrightwood! I am not complaining about anything - I dont care how long you keep things on here - and no they were not off topic as I recall I may have even started the string and it went of for a long while.

It is not me that is complaining, I am only responding to an unproductive and off-base reply -
 check it out - then you will see what I am talking about you must have missed it - it might be better to have people ask productive questions than question motives and numbers of posts I would think
Thanks

[greenfencejumper]

I see the misunderstanding on the syntax here becasue LasPulgas reply is entered above my post for some reason with one other - I am not in any way saying you are suspicious - I was being made to sound that way due to the deletions
So you got me - I dont know why replies show up as entered before my actual post

[greenfencejumper]

I take that last one back - just my poor grammer - posts in right order - I should have referrred specifically to LasPulgas remarks but thought it would be read
Sorry!

[KW]

All is forgiven!!! No worries....

[greenfencejumper]

Thanks now if I could just get the info!

Just as a semi disinterested third party. All the information you're looking for is available, for free, on the web. But it takes many hours of time searching out that information. That's time that someone else spent to do the research. Just my personal opinion here, but that time has value. I'm sure I would just not give out for free, something that I spent many hours, and alot of talent, researching. if you just start to search the web, using a good search engine, not google, and dedicate two or three days to the process, I'm sure you can find what you need. Then maybe you can post the facts here for everybody.
