Siskiyou County’s Mud Creek mudslide causes McCloud water restriction
This month’s heatwave is causing glacial melt at Mount Shasta this week that is putting part of a city’s water supply at risk. The glacial runoff pushes mud and boulders – sometimes as large as washing machines – down Mud Creek in Siskiyou County. The McCloud Community Services District (MCSD) operates three springs on the mountain that supply water to about 800 homes in McCloud. Its pipelines run along and over Mud Creek.
