Keystone Dam release increased over the weekend

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers increased the release from Keystone Dam Sunday afternoon.

The release was increased to 75,000 cubic feet per second around noon and was bumped up again to 85,000 cubic feet per second about two hours later.

As noted in a Facebook post, the gauge measuring the release is showing 6,000 cubic feet per second higher than the actual release.

Rain over the weekend led to an increased inflow into Keystone Lake, likely leading to the bump in the release.
