[#0000FF]Some water users have high demands through the normally warm months of August and September. So they keep letting water go downstream...even though the water users don't need it. But they won't cut back or they will lose their allotment for next year. Lots of extra water going into Salt Lake.
The gates will be closed on the Jordan River outlet about the first of October. Then if there is any more moisture Utah Lake will start rising slowly again. It came up about a foot per month last year. Would have been a lot better if there was enough snow for a big runoff.
Glad the kitties are cooperatin'. It is going to be tougher when the water flow drops in the Jordan and water temps drop also.
