Snowpack and Water Levels
The most recent checks on snowpack water took place March 21. We currently estimate 6,648 acre-feet of water in the Box Elder Creek drainage basin and another 1,083 in the Mantua Reservoir drainage basin. Overall, this is about 28 percent lower than the snowpack water at this time last year.
Mantua Reservoir was about 15 inches below spill level as of March 21.
City Response
With warming temperatures this week, City staff decided to draw the reservoir level down to about 22 inches below spill. This will create space in the reservoir to accommodate the runoff we anticipate from early runoff as temperatures warm.
Residents along the creek will see higher levels as more water comes down.
