Decrease in Turquoise Release

From USBR: 


We’re going to decrease the release from Turquoise down Lake Fork to 3 cfs at 09:00 this morning to aid Lake County with replacing culverts. The work should be done in November which is when we would start holding the release at 3 cfs for the winter. I don’t foresee a change from 3 cfs until next spring unless we can’t move water through Mt Elbert conduit this winter.
