Commission hears correspondence on increased river releases and Anvil closure
Summary
Commissioners noted correspondence indicating average daily releases rising to about 1,900–1,950 CFS (peaking near 3,000 CFS) and heard that Anvil was scheduled to close July 7 because of lake levels; the commission discussed declining lake levels.
The chair summarized correspondence from a water authority reporting that average daily releases would increase to about 1,900–1,950 cubic feet per second (CFS) from July 1–4, with peaks near 3,000 CFS on high flow days. The chair said the daily average may vary and noted the lake had been declining "about a foot a day" (later corrected to about a foot a week in the exchange).
"The notification was that it would close on July 7," a participant said regarding Anvil; commissioners discussed that closure in the context of lower lake levels. The exchange was informational; commissioners recorded the dates and noted upcoming calendar items related to infrastructure and coordination calls.
No formal action was taken; the correspondence and calendar notes were provided for situational awareness and scheduling of an upcoming seven‑county infrastructure meeting.
