Shasta Dam Set For High Release For Next Few Weeks

Flood water from the Sacramento River will continue to be a concern for residents along the river as the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation releases 79,000 cubic feet per second from Shasta Dam for the next couple of weeks. The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office says residents along the river should be aware of rising flood water. The Redding and Anderson Police Departments will be working with the California Highway Patrol, Redding Fire Department and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection as flooding occurs.
