Little Change In Oroville Dam Operations, Feather River Flow

Little has changed in the operation of Oroville Dam or in the flows in the Feather River. Flows in the part of the river past downtown Oroville are 40,000 cubic-feet per second, according to a Department of Water Resources press release. Another 7,000 cfs is entering the river at the Thermalito Afterbay outlet downstream from town. Most of the water — 40,000 cfs — is coming down the damaged main spillway. Another 6,450 cfs is being released through the Hyatt Powerhouse under the dam.
