In past drought years, ESD1 has docked at local marinas but on a temporary basis. Finding long term space now in deep water for the dock and boat is proving difficult.

"How much time do you have to get this done? Oh we don’t have probably a month and we are going to start seeing tremendous low levels where we are having now access to this area at all. Just trapped? Trapped. Boat is useless? That’s correct," said Buckley.

The cost of relocating is certainly a factor, but there is a bigger problem. Most of the members of the boat team are here in Jonestown at the Special Operations Station. "From here, from our current station that responds here, now, it’s a four-minute response time, from alert tones to being on the water, moving towards the incident. The one proposed solution we have is at a private marina, but what that does for use is it increases response times from dispatch time, to just getting to the marina to 14 minutes," said Chief Sukup.

That longer response time is why ESD 1 administrators are still searching for a closer location. Finding that deep water is becoming more difficult with each passing day.that I have read and agree
