ReservoirDamJamestown (CSi) Jamestown Reservoir and Pipestem Reservoir are at winter freeze-up levels.

On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 U.S. Army Corps of Engineer’s Pipestem Dam, Manager, Bob Martin said, Pipestem Dam is releasing, and will continue to release through the winter, 5 cfs of water, due to some ground water runoff still coming into the reservoir, from nearby wetlands.

He pointed out the reservoir level continues to creep up, but is not creating any problem.

At Jamestown Reservoir, releases were shut off the first week of December, and the gate is expected to be closed for the balance of the winter.

With frost, Martin said so far the depth is negligible, but that could change with colder weather, and the amount of snow cover.

He added that next week the weather service will begin measuring moisture content in the snow pack, and then every two weeks until the snow cover is gone.
