General Manager reports improving lake levels; McGee Creek and Lake Atoa meetings scheduled

General Manager Mr. Browning delivered the trust’s operational update at the March 10 meeting, reporting improvements in area reservoir levels following recent rain. "I have a a really good lake report," Browning said, and then gave specifics: Hefner "remains pretty much full," Draper is "nearly a foot down," Canton is "nearly a foot above Fullpool," Atoa is "five feet below Fullpool" but rose "one and a half feet" in recent weeks, and McGee Creek is "4.9 feet below full pool" but rose "two feet" over the past couple of weeks.

Browning said additional rain was expected and that attendees should see further improvement. He announced upcoming meetings of the McGee Creek Authority and the Lake Atoa reservation association on Thursday and thanked staff for extra work related to those meetings.

The report was delivered as an informational operational briefing; the transcript records no subsequent questions that altered the figures, and no formal action was taken on the lake report during the meeting. The trust adjourned after noting there were no registered public speakers.
