Commissioners keep reservoir outflow at 10 amid rising runoff forecasts
Summary
Granite County commissioners voted to maintain the reservoir release at 10 (units as used in agenda) for the coming week as inflows were expected to increase with warmer forecasts.
The commission considered the weekly water‑management report and a motion was made to keep the reservoir release level at 10 (the board's current operational setpoint). A commissioner moved to maintain the release at 10 and another commissioner seconded. There were no public comments; the motion passed by voice vote.
During discussion commissioners and staff noted recent increases in inflow and a short‑term warm spell that could raise runoff. The county’s gauge reading was reported at about 64.28 (units used in the weekly report) and staff said releases may need revisiting if inflows increase. For now the commission instructed staff to hold the release at 10 and to monitor conditions for possible adjustment at the next meeting.
