Water to be released today from Tuttle Creek dam

Water is scheduled to be released today from Tuttle Creek dam in Manhattan, Kansas, according to the Army Corps of Engineers.

Runoff from rains on Memorial Day weekend are expected to fill the reservoir’s remaining flood storage capacity, the Corps stated.

Releases will be set at 15,000 cubic feet per second. Tuttle Creek dam will slowly increase water through the outlet works and continue the release throughout the afternoon.

If additional rainfall occurs, releases could be increased, according to the Corps.

Additional personnel will inspect the dam, the spillway, the outlet and other important structures, according to the Corps. The dams are structurally sound and performing as designed, the Corps stated.

The Corps stated there are safety risks associated with high water, such as floating debris or obstructions.
