Look at that water flow at Horseshoe Dam! As the snowy forecast up north continues to fill our reservoirs to capacity, we are releasing water into the Salt River and celebrating the wet spring weather.
The students at Hudson Elementary School enjoyed Milk & Cookies with @AZCardinals safety @TreBos10 and Big Red this afternoon! We are a proud sponsor of this reading program designed to promote literacy throughout Valley elementary schools. 📚🥛🍪
Thank you to everyone who reached out about the beaver in our canal; it is currently napping! We are working w/ @azgfd & @LibertyWildlife and have confirmed that it's able to climb in/out of the canal & is a healthy, great swimmer! Please respect its space & do not enter canals.
Good news after last year’s record-dry winter: Yesterday, our team measured the snowpack in the White Mountains & found that we are falling right near average for this time of year. After melting, snowpack recharges groundwater & reservoirs that provide water to the Valley. 🚁🏔️
SRP crews at Theodore Roosevelt Dam recently conducted an annual test of 2 of the 4 north spillway gates to ensure they’ll operate properly in the event of a flood. The entire test, which was successful, took less than an hour.
We are happy to report that the beaver that had been hanging out in our canals has been safely captured and taken to @SWWildlifeCC where it will be examined, and once deemed healthy, will be released in an area more suitable for beavers.
