Beaver being blamed for water crisis in Depoe Bay
A pump station at Rocky Creek that supplies Depoe Bay with most of its raw water was disabled after a beaver destroyed a plywood dam at the site, wreaking havoc with the pump’s intake. Water from the pond is pumped about a mile north to the city’s reservoir, which fell three feet after the pump’s failure.
Sure. That seems likely. Because you know how beavers like to destroy plywood and wreak havoc with pumps. I mean its not like it could possibly be the responsibility of the fine employees at Depoe bay who let the water fall by 36 inches before anyone bothered to check what was causing it. I’m sure there aren’t gauges or sensors or anything. So how could they possibly know?
Speaking of wild decisions, Martinez beavers were invited to the zoo yesterday. The Oakland Zoo does a brown bag lunch series for the keepers and members with animal speakers from around the community. Guess who will be on the venue for November?
