Hetch Hetchy Water and Power reports as follows:

 

Update on flows for May 8 to 15:

1)      Eleanor continues to spill – inflows remain fairly high, and spill has remained steady at 600 cfs (for a total release of 1300 cfs including the valves). Spill will follow inflows while the lake is full – for the next week, I expect that inflows will maintain at this high level.

a.       Note that the Eleanor stream gauge is back up and running, and seems to be reporting correctly. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ca/nwis/uv/?site_no=11277500&PARAmeter_cd=62614,00054,00060

2)      High inflows to Hetch Hetchy necessitated a valve move to 4000 cfs on Saturday. We expect to remain at 4000 cfs through May 15

3)      May 15, we are planning a valve move to 6700 cfs at Hetch Hetchy.
