Commissioners keep stream release at 6 cubic feet per second after brief discussion
Summary
The Granite County water tender advisory recommended maintaining a minimum release of 6 cubic feet per second (CFS). The commission voted to keep the release level at 6 CFS.
The board considered the county’s tender/streamflow recommendation and motioned to maintain a release rate of 6 cubic feet per second. Commissioners discussed observed flows, seasonal moisture and input from the irrigation and fish-and-game advisory; one commissioner noted the model recommended 6 CFS to maintain downstream health.
Brad (water manager/advisory participant) said monitored inflow was roughly 6 CFS and that recent wind and evaporation limited significant increases. After a motion and second were called, commissioners voted in favor of continuing the 6-CFS release.
The motion passed by voice vote (recorded as “Aye”); commissioners did not record individual roll-call tallies in the transcript.
