It sure would be nice to view that spillway cam that DWR vowed to keep available to the public.

Then we could see the seepage starting.

Juan Browne Has a video from a couple weeks ago where he flies over the spillway. You can see that the spillway is still leaking all over the place but the water hasn't even reached the level of the gates yet.

This is a disaster waiting to happen.

Yes, at 2:19 in the video. Water running on both sides of the spillway beginning just above the steep downhill section.

Juan indicated the reservoir elevation was 727' on that date. I have noticed the seepage in the past right around 795', but never as low as 727'.

What say ye, Kiewit Tard? Is this an added feature they threw in for being 3X over budget?
