Using USGS and dam tender data, commissioners agreed to continue current operations at Georgetown Lake and gradually reduce penstock discharge to about 30 cubic feet per second as conditions allow; the lake level was reported at 6,429.58 feet, 0.96 inches above full pool.
Commissioners reviewed the USGS lake-level gauge and the dam tender's weekly report showing the lake at 6,429.58 feet, 0.96 inches above full pool. Commissioner Kulaski had dam tender Jarrod Kruger close the gate valve as a precaution.
Commissioner Adler moved that the county continue current operations, monitor reservoir conditions, and gradually reduce the penstock discharge to approximately 30 cubic feet per second as conditions dictate. Commissioner McLure seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Board members instructed continued monitoring and periodic updates; no immediate emergency actions were taken. The item will be revisited as lake-level and inflow/outflow conditions change.
