TimmyT - when you mentioned raising the level in the post above I thought you were commenting on the fact the Corps has yet to start storing water for this year at Walter? This weekend looks like they finally will cut the water back to 400cfs and begin to store. It appears they are finally done all the gate work and can now allow storage that encroaches into flood storage.
As far a comparing Cannonsville to FEW... I could not think of a more apples to oranges comparison. Really? One is for drinking water and the is meant for flood control and recreation. I mean if reservoir water at Cannonsville is not lapping up against the dam breast and spilling over the reservoir it is not doing its job. Of course NYC would want to install gates that can throttle back water to 0 cfs. I don't care how they sold it... it is obviously they would want more 'dialed in' release capabilities.
Anyway, its a complete apples to oranges comparison between two projects that have two completely different dedicated purposes when you consider one has a purpose of drinking water and other has multiple purposes like recreation and flood control.
