Willow Creek Reservoir drawdown nears completion

Our initial drawdown on Willow Creek Reservoir will conclude sometime today or tomorrow when the reservoir reaches elevation 8,117 feet (normal full elevation is 8,123 feet). Operators will hold the reservoir at this elevation indefinitely by matching releases to inflows. Inflows in recent days have been approximately 15 cfs. The forecast is calling for cold and snow, so the little bit of melting we saw on Monday will subside until our next warm spell.
