Lower Spring Water Level Not Refelective of Policy Change

The plan for this Spring was to maintain past water levels.  The transition from the previous  dam manager to an interim manager left a void. I was not able to get to the dam myself in a timely fashion. Dry weather has not helped. 

The dam gate was not "closed" soon enough to support past Spring water levels. "Closed" means the gate must be left open at least a few inches for downstream flow.

Current conditions are not related to the Water Level Committee. Any recommendations from the committee are future oriented and must be approved by members at the annual meeting.
