Historic floods in the Pacific Northwest and beyond are leaving behind more than headlines—they're reshaping rivers, canals, and ponds for years. This hub helps growers, utilities, and operators understand what that means for intakes, pumps, and filtration.
Flood recovery decisions move fast. Our engineering team prioritizes calls related to flood and dirty-water issues and typically responds within one business day.
When rivers jump their banks and fields go under, the damage isn't just fences and roads. Floods scour streambanks, move sediment, and flush organics, manure, and debris into every low point in the watershed.
As flows drop and snowpack builds, all that material doesn't disappear—it settles into rivers, canals, ponds, and sumps. Months later, when you open valves and start pumps, it shows up as:
Whether you manage orchards, a municipal pump station, or a process-water intake at a plant, floods change your water for multiple seasons, not just during the storm.
Flood debris and driftwood choke suction screens and culvert inlets, forcing crews to rake screens at the worst possible time.
Suspended solids and fine silt blow through pre-screens and hammer downstream filters, turning "once a week" cleaning into "every few hours."
Nutrient-rich floodwater sets the stage for heavy algae growth and biofilm once temperatures rise, increasing plugging and odor issues.
Operators and field crews are sent into dangerous conditions—fast-moving water, soft banks, night work—to keep systems limping along.
CTC Waterworks focuses on the parts of your system that physically touch dirty water: intakes, screens, and filtration. Our role in flood recovery is not emergency pumping or temporary damming—we help you repair and upgrade the permanent hardware so the next event hurts less.
It's normal to focus on immediate clean-up first—roads, utilities, structures, and insurance. But as soon as the immediate crisis passes, there is a window where you can:
Whether you are a grower planning for spring irrigation, or a utility scheduling capital work, this is when decisions with the biggest long-term payoffs get made.
If you're dealing with flooded intakes, dirty irrigation water, or pump stations that struggled during recent storms, a quick conversation with our team can save weeks of trial and error later.
We prioritize calls related to flood and dirty-water issues and typically return messages within one business day.
