Good afternoon,

 

Below are planned releases from HHWP facilities through June 3. An additional update will be provided next week.

 

For permitting and access information contact the Groveland Ranger District.

 

We strive to keep the user community updated on projected flows on the Tuolumne River.

Intraday powerhouse cycling is expected to continue, following similar patterns. Spill from Hetch Hetchy Reservoir is expected to continue fluctuating with natural inflow over the next several days.

 

Stated flow rates are best estimates and are subject to change as conditions and operational constraints evolve.
