2025 PG&E Project and lake level impact
Feb 20, 2025
You may have heard PG&E will be repairing infrustructure at Spaulding this summer that may have a significant impact on NID’s water capacity. As a result, NID may need to use water held in Rollins and Scott’s Flat to make up the deficit. Both of these reservoirs could experience very low water levels early this summer. Fortunately for Lake Combie, the problems with the PG&E canal are not expected to impact Lake Combie water levels. Of course plans can change, but it is great to have a plan in place the keeps Combie at normal summer water levels.
UPDATE ON 2022 LAKE DRAINAGE
Oct 19, 2022
Some quick notes on Lake level through December.
Oct 19 we have a level of 1593’ (about 6 feet down from summer levels). As communicated in our last newsletter, the lake has stabilized or even rebound a bit. Quite a bit of water came in Oct 14th from Wooley Creek as a result of PCWA clearing the canal that runs near Meadow Vista. The current stable water level will likely not last long. If the weather holds and NID plans hold, the lake is expected to drop about 9 additional feet to accommodate an NID maintenance project that requires access to the bottom portion of the dam in November. So it could be extremely low until the project completes which is estimated to be mid-late November. It will come back up after the project completes and/or rains come.
