Thanks for the update but it was a late as the last 48 hours that media was being told no opening is planned.

As far as the gates “leaking” it was certainly unplanned as Kewit was doing surface and joint work just below that gate and had sand bags wash away etc.

The concern that I have is for the issues ignored: Main dam face, water sensors, gate trunion repairs etc — not the main spillway or emergency spillway.
