Water shutting off at 10pm - possibly a pattern

[Brian K. Shaffer]

Yesterday Wednesday 5/23 at 10pm or so, the water was shut down at Taneycomo.

The Corps chart shows generation til the hour of 20.. but I believe it shut off at 10pm and stayed off til 6am or so.

Let's hope this starts a pattern of them shutting the water down for a change... it has been running all year - like every day all year but one.

Hope my knee is up for some night fishing - Cheers all - Brian

don't they usually slow it way down or shut it off for big holiday weekends?  I know it's not their "policy" but seems like I have seen that happen a lot for years past.

In the past couple of years, they've gone from leaving the water off part of the day and running water hard during peak power times to this minimum flow and bump it up a bit in the afternoons/evenings.  That's been the general pattern... not like it used to be.  Not good for waders below the dam for sure.  Good for boaters.
