Increased releases from Lake Granby

A series of rain events this week has filled Lake Granby faster than we would have liked. Therefore, as of this morning, releases from Lake Granby have been increased from 1,900 cfs to 2,200 cfs.

We will stay at this release rate through the weekend and re-evaluate on Monday. More precipitation could change the plan, so we’ll be watching the skies. We still have space in the reservoir, but we want to preserve as much space as we can in the event that Mother Nature continues to pile on more precipitation.
