...Water to be released over Granite Reef into Salt River channel... 
 
At 430 AM Thursday Salt River Project officials indicated that
649 cubic feet per second (cfs) of water was currently
flowing over Granite Reef Dam into the Salt River.
  
The flow over Granite Reef may soon be sufficient to cause impacts
downstream along the Salt River. This will primarily affect the
low water grade crossings at Gilbert and McKellips roads in
Mesa as well as other unbridged road crossings downstream
particularly in southeast Phoenix and the west valley.
 
Increases in the amount of water flowing downstream over Granite 
Reef Dam could occur in the next few days should changes in runoff 
necessitate additional releases by the Salt River Project from 
Bartlett Dam.
 
If you have any interests along the Salt River especially along 
low lying areas take necessary precautions and remain alert for 
increases in the river level. Remember be a smart motorist and do 
not drive through water of unknown depth. The water may be deeper
and stronger than you think.
