Blocked?
Earlier in the game, we saw a stream with a blockade in it - you might have forgotten it in all the commotion at the time.
Tell me where to go.
Visit the woods entrance, and cross the stream - you'll find an 'old knife gate valve' that's stopping the river from flowing.
Open sesame!
Not so fast - this thing is way too rusty to move. Nick says so in the signposted quote.
What should I do?
Look around town for something that could lubricate the valve and make it easier to use.
Where should I go?
There's one place in town that should be jumping to mind when you think of lubrication. (Somewhere that people would go to have a good time.)

On the far-left side of Lover's Lane, you can get a 'WD 404 penetrating oil can'. Sexy!
You can use it on the knife gate valve to loosen it up.
What now?
After using the valve, the water is flowing again!
Return to Earl's farm and take the net.
