UPDATE: New readings from Gavins Point Dam released today, December 23, 2025, show critical water metrics that demand immediate attention. The water temperature is recorded at 32.5°F, while the lake elevation stands at 1208.05 feet.
These figures highlight the current state of the dam, with the power plant discharge rate at a significant 12,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) and a spillway release measured at 0 cfs. The tailwater elevation is documented at 1150.80 feet.
This immediate data release is crucial for local residents and environmental agencies monitoring river conditions and potential impacts on surrounding ecosystems. With temperatures dropping, these metrics also raise concerns about potential ice formation and its effects on water flow dynamics.
The dam’s operational status and these readings are vital for flood management and water resource planning in the region. Authorities urge residents to stay informed about changing conditions as winter progresses.
As officials continue to monitor these vital statistics, community members are encouraged to share this information widely. For more updates, keep following local news channels and the official Gavins Point Dam communications.
