Clear Creek Reservoir Repair

From Pueblo Water: We have divers at Clear Creek Reservoir today for a repair on the hydraulic system that operates the gates. Starting in a few minutes, we will completely shut the gates for about 3 hours. The current flow rate out of the reservoir is 30 cfs so the river downstream will see a decline of about 30 cfs for a bit. As soon as the work is completed we will resume flowing 30 cfs or maybe a little bit more.

Decrease in Twin Release

From USBR: At 08:00 this morning, 2 Sep, we're going to decrease the release from Twin by 10 cfs. After the gate operation, we'll be releasing 15 cfs. 15 cfs is our minimum. Unless we get some good rains, I expect we'll be at this release for a while.

Increase at Twin Lakes

From USBR: We're going to increase the release from Twin today by 30 cfs at 1630 hrs.  After this gate change, we'll be releasing approximately 90 cfs, about 1 cfs from accounts and the rest native.  Expect releases to continue to increase as the rain persists.  


Updated: We are going to cancel this flow increase for this afternoon.  The Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs are planning on starting a river exchange today which negates our need to release additional native water from Twin Lakes Reservoir.

Increase in Twin Release

From USBR: We're going to increase the Twin release by 50 cfs at 14:30 this afternoon. After the gate operation, we'll be releasing 73 cfs, less than 1 of account and the rest native. Between our existing admin account and the rain that's forecast for the weekend, I didn't want to go until Monday without a gate change.
