Ashton Reservoir Drawdown Underway Ashton Reservoir Drawdown Underway

PacificCorp began the drawdown of Ashton Reservoir last Friday, May 11. The drawdown will occur over a two week period, which unfortunately means the water will likely be off-color just as the fishing season opens at Ora Bridge. On the bright side, no excavation work in the channel is planned for this year so the water should not look nearly as bad as last fall. Find current construction updates on the HFF website.
