Lake/tailwater Level Reports?

[Yakfly]

Looking at the recent BS dam reports, al the levels seem WAY off? What's going on here, is this reliable at all these days? Here's a couple of readings from yesterday:

I thought tailwater at dead low was always 449 feet. Anybody know why the shift in reports?

Yakfly,

I do not know what is going on. There always seems to be inconsistencies on these reports. I check them daily and call for generation information daily and they frequently do not agree. I always monitor water levels and will pull the plug and leave on a moments notice. Be careful out there!
