as of 1:00 PM, Thursday, May 11, 2006
Lake Orange ·
Water level is at the point where it is freely spilling
(full) over the spillway.. ·
Water storage capacity remaining is 100% (475 million gallons) · Current Eno River flow at the Hillsborough gage is approximately 16 cfs (10.3 million gallons per day). ·
Eno flow levels, which have averaged well above the 10 cfs flow that
triggers Capacity Use restrictions for the last five days (and 17 of the
last 19 days). For about half
of the last 19 days, flows have averaged at or well above historical
median water flows (approximately 30 to 50 cfs for this time of year) as a
consequence of thunderstorm and other rainfall activity. ·
There are no Eno River Capacity Use Restrictions in effect at this moment,
and it now appears unlikely that instream flow conditions that would
initiate restrictions will be seen within the next week to ten days even
with no additional rainfall. West
