Hollis fruit farm workers drove around checking the irrigation equipment for leaks and checking valves. Due to the drought, irrigation continued almost around the clock. By September 4, some of the farm’s irrigation ponds had become too low to use. With a limited water supply, irrigation water was taken off of some crops in favor of directing the water to the apple trees to make sure that the apples got enough.
