Water‑plant report: river flow at roughly 375 cfs, well below seasonal median
Summary
The town water‑plant representative reported river flow has declined to about 375 cubic feet per second, compared with a median of about 1,200 cfs for this time of year; staff said levels are lower but not at recent winter lows and they are monitoring conditions.
The Rangely water‑plant representative (S5) reported a noticeable drop in river flow during the council meeting.
S5 said, "As of yesterday we're around 375 cubic feet per 2nd, which is significantly less than the median we have of 1,200 cubic feet per 2nd for this time of year," and added that the current level was "nowhere near the low back in February," so staff were monitoring but not yet "super concerned."
Councilors were informed that the lower flow is being tracked by plant staff; the report did not include immediate operational changes or declared restrictions. No requests for emergency action were recorded in the meeting transcript.
