Additional Remarks or Updates |
An irrigation company intentionally breached one of their canals upstream of the dam which may have helped cause the dam to fail. Most of the flooding in North Loup was due to the heavy rainfall runoff. We do not know how much the failure of the dam contributed to the flooding. Water and sewer service were disrupted. |
