The city will release around 250 million gallons of water from Hodges Reservoir into the San Dieguito River over a two-day period starting Monday.
The water release, using valves in Hodges Dam, will begin Monday and is intended to reduce the reservoir's elevation by around two feet to 275 feet, according to the city.
"Visitors to this area of the San Dieguito River Park and generally along the San Dieguito River should take precautions as the water level in the creek will rise," said Juan Guerreiro, director of the city's public utilities department."The city will continue to monitor weather forecasts, rainfall and the water level at Hodges Reservoir to determine if additional water releases need to be planned during the rainy season.
Additionally, a project to make repairs at Hodges Dam has been ongoing since May. That project also requires a lower water level, necessitating the closure of boating and fishing at the reservoir.
