Water Order FAP 25-04

Mount Elbert Powerplant


GENERAL
The installation of the stoplogs for MTE Unit 2 is complete and the conduit from Sugarloaf Dam to Mt. Elbert Forebay is ready to run water again. The current plan is to run the conduit at full capacity (~375 cfs) until we fill the forebay back up to the minimum pumping elevation of 9630 ft. The fish hatchery will continue to run 15 cfs so the water available for the powerplant will be less.


Sugarloaf Dam
Wednesday, December 4, 2024 @ 1400 Hrs.
Start releases to the Mt Elbert conduit from Sugarloaf Dam, run the conduit at full capacity.


Maintain until further notice.
