U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to begin letting water out of Lucky Peak on July 23rd for irrigators

 

On Friday, July 23rd the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will start letting water out of the Lucky Peak Reservoir to fill the needs of irrigators who have water rights in the Treasure Valley.

This means that boaters have this weekend and next weekend to hit the water, but after that, it might be too shallow to get the boats in the water.

KIVI-TV reports, water managers have been forced into this position because Anderson Ranch and Arrowrock Reservoirs have dropped earlier than normal.

Several Idaho rivers are flowing at the lowest levels ever recorded this summer due to drought.
