Report Conclusions: Water production and sewer collection were
both significantly less than the previous year as a
result of an extremely dry winter season thus far. With
a lack of snowfall the ski areas are barely open and tourism
has ground to a halt.
*
The Maximum Level represents a rough average of the
highest level measured in the aquifer during spring-melt
period.
**
The Minimum Level. The lowest level ever
recorded in the aquifer was 6,174.0 feet above mean
sea level on October 5, 2001.
This level is not necessarily indicative of the total
capacity of the aquifer.
***
Creek bed elevation (per Kenneth Loy, West Yost
Associates) near Well 2 is 6,186.9 feet.
****
The season total is calculated from October 2010 through
September 2011.
*****
The true average could be higher or lower than the
reported value due to the uncertainty of the Old Fire
Station precipitation measurement during the period 1994
to 2004.
