Current Status
Last Updated: July 03, 2025
As of July 02, 2025, the Fontenelle Reservoir pool elevation is 6499.36 feet, which amounts to 85 percent of live storage capacity. Inflows for the month of June totaled approximately 187,242 acre-feet (af) or 61 percent of average.
Due to continuing dry conditions, releases from Fontenelle are expected to be at 850 cfs for most of July but may change pending hydrology.
The July final forecast for unregulated inflows into Fontenelle for the next three months projects much below average conditions. July, August, and September Most Probable inflow volumes amount to 41,000 af (24 percent of average), 30,000 af (46 percent of average), and 25,000 af (62 percent of average), respectively.
