Additionally, Cache Water District Manager Nathan Daugs addressed ongoing community debates regarding the Little Logan River, clarifying that a proposed canal pressurization and flood-control project aims to modernize 150-year-old irrigation infrastructure and mitigate flood risks while maintaining summer water flows through local public parks.
