Water Management Issues:

1.  This time of year, the schedule is reviewed monthly, based on precipitation (i.e. the apparent water year type).  The current schedule is for a Dry water year.  The schedule shown here is correct until Memorial Day (May 26), and almost certainly correct for the rest of May.  This page, with the schedule for the rest of the year, will be updated around May 10.

2.  Times reflect releases at Chili Bar.  It takes approximately two hours for the water to travel from Chili Bar to Coloma.

3.  Releases shown are minimum releases.  Actual releases may be higher than shown.  In addition, sudden higher or lower (or no) releases may result from emergency mechanical or electrical conditions.

4.  Users are urged to use caution and to wear all appropriate personal protective equipment.
