The City of Prescott and their contractor, Fann Contracting, Inc., are currently repairing the Granite Creek Dam at Watson Lake. The proposed improvements to the dam will stabilize the existing 48-inch non-working valve with concrete, and remove and replace the leaking 36-inch valve, allowing the City to safely drain water for downstream management, and extend the life of the valve into the foreseeable future. Phase I of construction will begin on Monday, April 23, and is scheduled to be completed by the Memorial Day Holiday. Phase II of the project will begin in fall 2018.
GRANITE CREEK DAM VALVE REPAIRS SIGNIFICANTLY COMPLETE
The City of Prescott and their contractor, Wood, have reached significant completion on the first phase of the Granite Creek Dam Outlet Rehabilitation Project. Project improvements included the stabilization of the 48-inch non-working valve with concrete and the installation of a gate over the entrance of the leaking 36-inch valve to stop the flow. These improvements have successfully allowed the City to safely drain water for downstream management and have prepared the 36-inch valve to be replaced during phase two of this project, which is scheduled to begin in fall 2018.
The City is proud to bring improvements such as this to the Prescott Community and appreciate your support as our crews have worked to complete the project.

WATSON LAKE SOUTH BOAT RAMP ACCESS
Crews will be utilizing the Watson Lake south boat ramp to move equipment off site next week.
Please be aware of the following impacts:
Tuesday, May 29 and Wednesday, May 30, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.
The Watson Lake parking lot at the south boat ramp and the south parking lot trails will be partially closed. In addition, the south boat ramp will be closed to public access while work is underway. Lake users are asked to follow marked signage, respect the work zone, and take precaution when near construction personnel and equipment.

LOCAL NEWS: The Northern Arizona VA in Prescott has provided an update on their Homeless Veteran Program. . . .PRESCOTT, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona VA Health Care System’s Homeless Veteran Program, along with its community partners, housed 445 Veterans in 2022, exceeding their target goal by 157%.Nationally, the 2022 goal was to house 38,000 homeless Veterans— a goal that was exceeded by 6.3%. The Department of Veterans Affairs remains committed to ending Veteran homelessness and increasing housing placements is critical to achieving this goal.“This success is a result of efforts built on the evidence-based ‘Housing First’ approach, which prioritizes getting a Veteran into housing, then provides the Veteran with the support they need to stay housed,” said Steve Sample, Medical Center Director.In Northern Arizona, there are a variety of services designed to house homeless Veterans. The VA’s Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Program includes VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) vouchers that provide formerly homeless Veterans with subsidized housing and a wraparound, interdisciplinary case management team to address issues that may have contributed to homelessness. The program provides justice outreach services, employment services, health care services through the Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team, outreach, and transitional housing support. The VA also works closely with community partners to house homeless Veterans through a system called Coordinated Entry, where community agencies along with the VA regularly meet to coordinate efforts and ensure homeless Veterans do not fall through the cracks.“We are fortunate that there is so much support for helping homeless Veterans in our area,” said Jessica Taylor, Homeless Program Coordinator for the Northern Arizona VA. “This success could not have been possible without great collaboration between our community partners, Housing Authorities, Tribal partnerships, and support from our local communities.”Looking ahead, the VA will continue to explore new avenues to house homeless Veterans and overcome housing barriers. In collaboration with U.S VETS, Gorman & Company, and the Arizona Department of Housing, a supportive housing project on the grounds of the VA’s Fort Whipple campus is in the initial planning stages. The VA is also expanding outreach to ensure that homeless Veterans are aware of services available to them. For Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness— or if you know of homeless Veterans in need of assistance, call 877-424-3838.For more information on renting to or hiring homeless Veterans, visit: www.va.gov/homelessAbout the Northern Arizona VA: Through its main campus in Prescott, along with Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) in Cottonwood, Flagstaff, Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Anthem— with additional clinics in Tuba City, Page, Kayenta, Chinle, Holbrook, and Polacca, the Northern Arizona VA provides services to approximately 33,000 Veterans over a catchment area of more than 65,000 square miles.. . .www.facebook.com/VAPrescott ...
