isolated from the power network and continues to serve a local area of power
for safety purposes. Spring Creek and Carr power plants are currently down. As
a result, Lewiston water elevations were managed by emergency increased

power penstock and hollow-jet outlet use depending on
conditions. Increased releases from Lewiston Dam also help to
decrease the heating and residence time at Lewiston. We expect with
the outlet mixture and increased releases that Trinity River temperatures will
be at or cooler than previous days. This is the most dynamic system
and temperature will be adjusted real-time when possible.</span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);"><span></span></span></div>
