From the Summit County Citizens Voice (Bob Berwyn):
Last weekend’s storm boosted the Colorado River Basin snowpack from 75 percent up to 81 percent, but Denver Water managers said they’re still not sure if Dillon Reservoir will fill to capacity this spring…
For now, reservoir storage is in far better shape than it was in 2002, a landmark year that brought unprecedented modern-era drought to Colorado. Since then, Denver Water and other Front Range providers have rethought their operating plans to maintain more reserve storage for the worst-case scenarios.
