On April 11, 2022, the NSCUDD Board approved the Additional Services Agreement
with Jacobs for the development of an unidirectional flushing (UDF) plan for VWCA and
SWCA. Flushing of irrigation system pipelines is an essential part of the maintenance program for long-term success with irrigation systems. Flushing prevents the accumulation of small particles and build-up, which can lead to plugging issues.
