Salt River Project will be draining and working on canals in Mesa starting this month.
The water provider and utility announced Friday it would start work on the South and Tempe canals in northwest Mesa between Nov. 20 and Dec. 20. The work is part of a 10-year rotation undertaken to maintain the canal system serving many Valley cities.
Work includes removing silt, replacing concrete lining and repairing gates along a 7- to 8-mile stretch of the canal.
SRP plans to begin herding and removing fish from the section of the canals starting Nov. 21. The many white amur fish SRP uses to control vegetation in the canals.
