Not sure, but with no rain really to speak of in the forecast I say it was a smart move, this sun and heat will take care of that 3 feet in no time via evaporation.
Got a call about that yesterday. Only thing I can figure is either something to do on dam gate or having to do something down river. Normally they might slow it down to a trickle but not shut it completely of without a real good reason.
Saw it on some media report that it was shut down for inspection and maintence.
Probably the 5 yr. shut down, inspect and maint. cycle that all the spillway outlets are on. Normally takes a month or so to complete.Quote:
