CNPPID News Release: Sept. 8, 2009

A couple Highlights:

Central also intends to use Elwood Reservoir for irrigation operations next year for the first time since 2004. Central will begin diverting some water into Elwood Reservoir this fall and then fill it to operating levels next spring prior to irrigation season. Water from the reservoir is used to supplement diversions into the E65 Canal system in Gosper and Phelps counties.

• Steinke reported that there are currently no plans to lower Johnson Lake's water level this fall, although Plum Creek Reservoir (immediately upstream) will begin to fall to normal off-season levels in mid- to late September.
